The objective of the work was to study the dynamics of chronic lung diseases in students of the higher educational institutions and the influence of physical education means on the improvement of functional activity indices of respiratory system, indices of biological age (BA) and the level of physical fitness of first-year students. 94 students (56 of experimental and 38 of control group) subjected to different methods of physical education, participated in the experiment. Studies were conducted in 2006-2010. Peculiarities of physical load influence upon indices of timed expiratory and inspiratory capacity and vital capacity have been determined. Application of correlation, regression and factor analysis has permitted to determine the degree, the direction and the form of studied interrelations with biological age of students and present them in respective mathematical models.
