One of the key health problems of the modern societies is the poor popular health situations with the growing morbidity rates on the whole and cardiovascular system (CVS) disease rates in particular. Only Russia has lost more than 1.2 million lives due to the CVS diseases [for the last decade]. As reported by K. Cooper, American physician, the people tested with the MOC rate of at least 43 ml/ kg/ min are generally immune to chronic diseases, obesity, blood hypertension, cholesterol exchange disorders and least exposed to cancer risks. As reported by Becker, presently the maximal oxygen consumption (MOC) rate in healthy male population in the developed countries has sagged from 45 to 35 ml/kg/min making it increasingly exposed to the growing risks of hypogenesis. The 2015-17 annual medical examination reports of the outpatient clinic of Ufa State Petroleum Technology University (USPTU) show that more than 80% of the student population is diagnosed with different chronic diseases, with some student are diagnosed with 2-3 ailments at a time. No wonder that for the last three years the physical fitness of the student population has sagged as demonstrated by practical tests. The physical degradation is particularly expressed in the endurance race tests (3000/ 2000m races and the Cooper’s 12-minute run test), with some of the students covering only 1500-1600m for 12 minutes. The study analyses benefits of the endurance-building cyclic sports (including races) for the physicality building purposes. We applied the Cooper’s 12-minute run test to obtain the group MOCs in the 2nd and 6th semesters; followed by the MOC data processing to rate the students’ physical health. Based on the study data, we have offered recommendations on how the academic Physical Education Department performance may be advanced to protect and improve the students’ health.

Keywords: physical education, sports, MOC, CVS, students, Cooper’s 12-minute run test, cyclic sport disciplines.
