To study the dynamics of the level of physical fitness of military personnel who systematically apply independent physical training, methods were used to assess the level of development of speed and strength abilities and endurance of military personnel, as well as the functional state of the cardiorespiratory system. Seven exercises were selected, which were used both in independent physical training and for diagnosing the level of development of the strength abilities of military personnel: pulling up on the crossbar, lifting the legs to the crossbar, bending and unbending the arms in a prone position, a jerk of a kettlebell weighing 24 kg, a push of two kettlebells weighing 24 kg, shuttle running 10x10 m, running on 3 km. The conducted studies have shown that systematic independent physical training contributes to the improvement of the functional state of the body of military personnel. This is expressed in an increase in the index of functional capacity of military personnel by 11.6% (p<0.01), improvement of physical condition to a value «higher»
