National student population health and physical progress profiling studies appear to be increasingly topical nowadays. The study was designed to profile on a multiannual (2003 to 2018) systemic basis the somatic health and physical fitness rates and anthropometrics of the Far Northern student population. Objective of the study was to find the gender-specific physical progress trends and analyze the health situation. Sampled for the study were the first-year National State University students whose anthropometrical characteristics (body mass and length; chest size), functionality (lead wrist strength and vital capacity) were tested. The tests showed a clear simultaneous body length and mass growth trend since 2003 till 2012-2014 in the female and male groups, respectively. A comparative analysis of the physical progress data for the period of 2003-2018 showed the highest progress in the somatic health rates; plus progress in the male/ female anthropometrics; and meaningful changes in the body length and wrist dynamometry rates and the vital capacity rates – with the latter two tested to notably fall for the 15 years. On the whole, the Northern students’ physical progress trends may be summarized as follows: growths in the body anthropometrics and falls in the strength rates – with the finding confirmed by the relevant studies in some other Russian regions.

Keywords: students, health standards, physical progress rates, functionality rates, somatic health rates, anthropometrical characteristics.
