The purpose of the study is to examine the indicators of psychophysical health among university students in technical disciplines Research methods and organization. The following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, testing, and methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. The study was conducted at the Department of Physical Education of The Kosygin State University of Russia with the participation of first- and second-year male students studying at the Institute of Mechatronics and Robotics. Indicators of psychophysical health were examined, including the assessment of simple visual-motor reaction time, coordination abilities, strength and speed endurance, general endurance, and calculation of maximum oxygen consumption. Research results and conclusions. The assessment of students' psychophysical health indicators revealed extremely low results in coordination abilities, speed endurance, overall performance capacity, as well as psychomotor reaction time. This negatively affects their psychophysical health and is a factor in lower socio-economic labor productivity. The study of the structure of interrelationships between physical fitness indicators and psychomotor status in students of technical specialties, specifically mechatronics and robotics profiles, revealed fundamental relationships between psychomotor status indicators and maximal oxygen consumption with coordination abilities, overall, and speed endurance.The obtained results can be used to adjust indicators of psychophysical health and to develop physical training programs in the process of physical education for students of universities of the corresponding profile. According to the authors, the established interconnections will allow for the integrated development of physical fitness and functional condition in this category of students.
