Abstract: In the modern world, college-age youth often have various somatic dysfunctions and pathologies. This places an additional burden on hospitals and further increases costs in the health care system. Moreover, this situation threatens to weaken the intellectual and general labor potential of the society. The emerging circumstance may negatively affect the state of the economy. Low functional characteristics of modern youth are directly related to their low physical activity. This leads to a weakening of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in young people, greatly reduces the general functionality and forms the risk of developing pathology. Improvement of widely applicable schemes of dosed physical activity among young people, aimed at mass health improvement and increase in general working capacity, is becoming very urgent. The appointment of the scheme of systematic physical training developed by the authors with the use of simulators that activate the muscles of the trunk and extremities showed its greater efficiency in young men in terms of stimulating the functions of the heart and respiratory system. Against the background of regular trainings according to the tested scheme, the boys' physical performance increased and their functional reserves increased. The developed training technique made it possible to optimize hemodynamics, significantly increase resistance to hypoxia, heart and lung reserves, and also increase overall physical activity in young men studying at the university.
