Abstract
Purpose: the purpose of this study was to verify if there is any significant difference between body fat assessment by calculating body mass index and by using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Materials: subsequently we determined the ratio between body fat and muscular mass percentage in a sample of 156 university girl students. Results: BMI and muscle mass percentage seem to have similar variance and trends, while body fat exceeded in numbers and percents the highest levels of BMI. While by calculating BMI the found number of overweight and obese subjects was 23 from the total of 156, (14 %); by measuring body fat percentage that number increased to 67 (43%) of girl students in the sample. The t test showed significant difference between BMI values and the body fat percentage for the study sample: t (155) = 2.37, p-0.01. Conclusions: this study supports the idea that BMI results may be insufficient for correct assessment of overweight and obesity risk. Body composition adds useful information about health and fitness. A few concluding recommendations, regarding beneficial effects of exercise, have been made aiming to provide students of all body parameters with meaningful, relevant and positive physical education and health knowledge.

We present mean statistic data of students’ physical fitness at the beginning and at the end of pedagogic experiment
Summary
PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS on reduction of individual anxiety. For achievement of the set aims Yu.A. Earlier we found that in training of future pedagogues it is important or realize salute-genetic approach [12] This approach is based on anthroposophically oriented methodological principles and facilitates healthy, holistic development of students. Testing of students elucidate a little individual peculiarities of such category Such important aspects as physical, psychic and social-moral health of students are still out of scientists’ interests. In connection with the above said it seems to be important to seek innovative approaches to new methodic and technologies’ working out in the process of students’ education and teaching The purpose of such search is physical rehabilitation and pedagogic correction of students’ health by means of health related physical culture and elements of sports activity [5]
