To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific-methodological and medical literature, pedagogical observation, index method, medical and biological methods, ascertaining experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p><strong>Results.</strong> The study found that at the age of 19 there is a significant deterioration in the results of breathhold in the Stange test (49 s) and the Genchi test (38 s) (P &lt; 0.05). At the age of 21, there is a decrease in the Ruffier index (12.4 – “satisfactory”) and the average heart rate after exercise (<em>f</em><sub>1</sub> = 34.7), while there is a decrease in heart rate (<em>f</em><sub>2</sub> = 25.8) after a standard recovery pause (P &lt; 0.05). This indicates that during this period, there occur the most successful compensatory processes of cardiovascular activity. At 21-22 (4<sup>th</sup>-5<sup>th</sup> years of study), there is an increase in heart rate before exercise (<em>f</em><sub>0</sub>), and the Stange test result improves.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> The results of comparative analysis show that with age the number of female students with a “satisfactory” result of the Ruffier index increases (59.4%), and a “good” heart result decreases (15.6%). At the age of 21, women have better heart rate, and at 22, they have better results in breath-holding under hypoxia.</p> ER -
