Background. The processes of reforming education, health care and the sanitary including epidemiological
service have led to changes in medical care and control of the conditions of education. It is also contributed to the fact that
the problem of preserving the health of students remains an urgent problem and requires its solution, and monitoring the indi-
cators of physical development during training allows you to solve a number of topical issues. Objective. In order to deter-
mine the peculiarities of the annual changes in the transverse dimensions of the boys` bodies in the educational process of
various academic institutions were performed. Methods. We examined 300 healthy young men (100 cadets, 100 pupils and
100 students) at the 1st and 2nd years of study at the University of Life Sciences and Medical University by means of soma-
tometric method. Results and conclusion. There has been established the largest number of reliable annual changes in the
transverse parameters of the cadets` bodies during the first year of study at the University of Life Safety based on the ob-
tained data. When comparing annual change data, they were more significant for a group of cadets than students and pupils.
