Topicality. Maintaining an appropriate level of elderly men`s physical preparedness is an important factor of their health preservation. The Research Purpose was to assess the indicators of physical preparedness and to identify the factor structure of the elderly men`s physical status. Methods of the Research: analysis of research papers and methodological literature; pedagogical, physiological, and anthropometric methods; and mathematical statistics. Pedagogical testing of physical preparedness was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the tests and standards for the annual physical preparedness assessment of the population of Ukraine. The research used the method of correlation analysis. The pair correlations for each parameter were estimated with the correlation coefficient. Factor analysis using the principal component analysis and Varimax rotation of the axes allowed grouping the individual indicators of elderly men`s physical preparedness. K-means clustering was conducted with the aim of classifying the studied population according to the indicators of physical status. The study involved 50 elderly men (with an average age of 65,06 ± 3,06 years). Results of the Research. The low level of physical preparedness was found in the majority of elderly men. Two groups of elderly men with statistically significant differences in all indicators of physical status were identified, and it was found that the greatest involution changes occur at the age of 66–70 years, which must be taken into account when planning health fitness programs. The factors that characterized the structure of the physical status of elderly men were identified, and substantiated 76,35 % of the total variance: the Ist factor included physical preparedness and indicators of the cardiovascular system (38,818 %), the IInd factor – postural stability and indicators of the respiratory system (30,833 %), and the IIIrd factor included physical development (8,122 %). Findings. The peculiarities of elderly men`s physical preparedness indicators were identified.
