Objective of the study was to assess the functional state of young people living in various regions of Russia, based on an analysis of their external respiration system functionality.
Methods and structure of the study. Sampled for the study were 30 apparently healthy youngsters aged 19.26±0.18 years (Arkhangelsk) and 35 ones aged 18.07±0.72 years (Moscow). We studied the subjects’ external respiration function using an automatic SPIRO C-100 spirometer.
Results of the study and conclusions. It was shown that the young people living in Moscow were characterized by an increase in the energy demand of the body in a state of relative muscular rest, higher rates of total inspiratory volume, reserve expiratory volume and tidal volume. At the same time, the residents of the northern region were found to have significant reserve capacities of the respiratory system to improve pulmonary ventilation. In general, the young people from both groups had a high ultimate level of the external respiration system functioning.
Based on the data obtained, at the initial stage of adaptation to cold weather (November), university students of the central region of Russia are recommended to reduce the level of physical activity, which requires increased energy consumption, as well as include in the educational process less energy-intensive health and fitness activities, such as Pilates, yoga, stretching, Nordic walking.

Keywords: students, circumpolar region, temperate climate zone, respiratory system.
