The formation and preservation of the health of young people in Russia in the context of a changing education format that limits physical activity is one of the key problems. In this regard, it is relevant to constantly monitor the physical condition of girls studying in universities. A survey of first-year students studying at the Pedagogical Institute of Irkutsk State University. Using calculated indices (body mass index, Brugsch index and Verveck index) showed that only 55% of all the girls surveyed had harmonious physical development. Disharmonious physical development of female students is more often caused by overweight (35%) and obesity (8%), which allows them to be attributed to the risk group for successful adaptation to study. Students with harmonious physical development revealed narrow chest, indicating the gracialization of the physique of modern freshmen. The results of the study of the harmony of physical development and the methodology of their implementation will allow students to teach techniques of self-observation in this direction. The formation of this competence will make it possible to project the acquired skills in professional activity when teaching a course studying human anatomy and physiology according to the requirements of the second-generation school Federal Standard.
