Relevance. To date, there is a negative trend of deterioration of physical health among children of school age. The deterioration of children's health is significantly affected by a decrease in their physical activity. Therefore, the importance of physical education lesson at school increases. However, the modern system of school physical education requires improvement, because during the time at school, the level of children's health does not increase, and in some places,it decreases. This is because physical education in school is aimed primarily at solving educational problems.The purpose of the study -to determine the level of physical condition of high school students who are enrolled in secondary school. Research methods: theoretical analysis, generalization of literature, pedagogical experiment, motor skills testing, spirometer, anthropometry, dynamometry, pulsometory, sphygmomanometer, respiratory tests, Romberg tests, running test PWC170, express assessment of physical health, mathematical processing of research results. The results of the study. According to the results of the study, the indicators that are characteristic for the components of the physical condition of high school students are not significantly different from the average results obtained earlier by other researchers. According to their estimated scale, the overwhelming majority of these indicators correspond to the “average” level of development. The exceptions are some indicators of motor abilities, such as jumping ability and flexibility -in boys, and speed, coordination abilities, speed-strength capabilities -in girls. They are at the level of "satisfactory". In addition, jumping in girls is generally characterized by a rating of “unsatisfactory”. However, given the completeness of the structure of the physical state, its level was judged by the totality of signs, primarily the physical development and the state of the functional systems. The express assessment of the physical condition of boys and girls obtained in this way indicates that it corresponds to the level “below average”, and only in one group of girls was characterized as “average”.Findings. Health requires protection throughout a person’s life. Particularly acute problem concerns the younger generation. To manage the recovery process, information is needed on the quantitative and qualitative indicators that characterize the level of physical condition.
