to define dynamics of indicators of endurance and strength development of 15-17-year-olds girl-students after application of cheerleading exercises.

Abstract. Purpose: to determine degree of cheer-leading exercises' influence of physical condition of pedagogic college girl students. Material: in the research 385 1 st -3 rd years girl students participated. Physical condition level of girl students was determined by indicators of body composition harmony (index of Kettle 2), functional potentials of respiratory system, organism's resistance against hypoxia factors (Skibinsky's index), regulation of cardio-vascular system (Robinson's index). Body length and mass, chest, hip and waist circumferential sizes, vital capacity of lungs, breathing pause after inhale (Stanger's test), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart beats rate in rest were measured. Results: As a result of initial testing "low" level of girl students' physical condition was registered. Age distinctions in the tested indicators were regarded. Positive influence of cheerleading exercises on functional potentials of respiratory system and organism's resistance against hypoxia factors; on regulation of cardio-vascular, system was found. Conclusions: Application of cheerleading exercises' in physical education positively influenced on physical condition level of pedagogic college girl students.

The article provides the results of determining the level of physical development of the 1th-2nd course students of design specialties of the College of Construction, Architecture and Design. The physical development of students was determined by indicators of harmony of the bodybuilding (Kettle index 2), functional state of the cardiovascular system (Ruffier index), and respiratory system (Stange test). Length and weight of the body, heart rate, breathing delay time were measured. As a result of the researches, the “average” level of the physical development is determined in the 1th-2nd course girls and “sufficient” - in boys. Thus, mass-growth indicators of students according to the calculation of Kettle 2 index, both boys and girls correspond to the assessment of 5 points, which indicates a harmonious physique of students; indicators of the functioning of the cardiovascular system (Ruffier Index) of 1st year boys and the 2nd year students make 2 points, which corresponds to the ”below average” level, and the results of the 1st year girls equal to the assessment of 3 points, “average” level; indicators of the functional state of the respiratory system (Stange test) of boys of the 1th-2nd  course correspond to the assessment of 4 points (“above the average” level), and girls of both courses - 3 points (“average” level). In the age and gender aspects, physical development indicators, in general, don’t significantly differ with the general tendency to increase results with age and the dominance of boys over such in girls. The exception is the Ruffier index, where there is an opposite trend - the results decrease with age in girls and they are higher than in boys. Thus, the results of the research indicate the feasibility of introducing the 1th-2nd course students of professional pre-high education of special physical exercises into the process of physical education to improve the functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
