Purpose: The purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the functional state of students with different types of posture.
Material and methods. The study surveyed 222 students (108 boys and 114 girls). The analysis of the obtained data indicates that only 19.4% of boys and 12.3% of girls have a normal posture.
Results. Among students with postural disorders, scoliotic (asymmetric) posture is most common (34.3% of boys and 43.8% of girls), less with stooped (22.2% and 23.7%, respectively), less common with round posture (24.1% and 20.2%). Female students have a lower level of biogeometric posture than boys.
The functional state of the level of aerobic productivity, girls, regardless of posture, is higher than boys. Among boys, the level of aerobic performance was not rated higher than "below average", and among girls below "excellent" or "good".
According to the standards for assessing the functional readiness of people of different ages in Podilsk region, the "average" level of aerobic productivity of women 20-22 years is much higher than established by GL Apanasenko "safe level of health", and the value of 38 ml min-1 kg-1corresponds only "average" level, regardless of posture.
It was found that in students with a low level of biogeometric posture profile, the level of aerobic productivity, regardless of gender, is lower than in people with normal posture. Thus, the relationship between the level of biogeometric profile and the level of aerobic productivity, regardless of the type of posture.
Conclusions. The functional state of the level of aerobic productivity, girls, regardless of posture, is higher than boys. Among boys, the level of aerobic performance was not rated higher than "below average", and among girls below "excellent" or "good".
