Problem statement: Formation of students’ psychophysiological readiness to their future professional
work can be considered as one of the most important tasks of specialist training at universities. Approach: An
important part of this is physical education and sports. Purpose: to study students’ results in physical education
and sports, their attitude to a healthy lifestyle and physical readiness to their professional work. Results: physical
activity of the overwhelming majority of students is insufficient. The percentage of smokers and alcohol users
among students has been revealed. A number of gender differences have been identified: women-students do less
physical exercises and sports than men-students; also women-students perform regular morning exercises less
frequently and are less willing to participate in sportive events, but smoke and drink alcoholic beverages
significantly less. The women-students have shown worse self-estimation of their working ability dynamics
during a day and week, worse self-estimation of their health and a greater number of fatigue signs during
university studies. The expressed positive influence of physical exercises and sportactivities on various aspects
of students’ educational, psychological and social spheres, their working ability and health has been proved.
Conclusions: The research is practically important for substantiation of physical education and sports application
for formation of students’ psychophysiological readiness to their future professional activities.
