Working conditions in the mining industry place high demands on human health. Unfavorable climatic conditions increase the impact factors on all systems and organs. The data obtained in the course of the research characterize the health of students of the 1st-5th courses as weak. More than 37.7% of students belong to the special and preparatory groups or have a medical exemption from physical education. Only about 62.3% of students have a basic group of health and in the future will be able to work in their specialty. It is necessary to conduct a more detailed and comprehensive professional selection, to perform it not only when hiring, but also when entering the institute. The main direction of physical education at the institute is not only to maintain, but also to improve the functional state of the body of students.
