The experiment was conducted in three stages. The first stage is the beginning of the first semester. The second stage is the end of the first semester. The third stage is the end of the second semester. The level of their physical fitness was determined before the start of the experiment. Experimental group cadets studied in the section of the boxing academy, control group cadets – according to the traditional system of physical training in military institution of higher education. Development analysis of physical qualities of cadets was carried out on the following exercises: pull-ups, running 100 meters, running 3000 meters.
