Relevance. In recent years, Ukraine has seen a decline in physical fitness and a high level of morbidity, especially among children and adolescents. During the period of schooling, the number of healthy children from the first to the eleventh grade decreases by 3–4 times. The constant increase in the volume of educational material that a modern schoolchild must learn, preparation for the external assessment almost does not leave schoolchildren time for sufficient physical activity and physical self-improvement. The Purpose of the Work was to study the influence of athletics on the indicators of physical fitness of senior schoolchildren. Material and Methods of Research: pedagogical experiment, medical and biological (anthropometric measurements, Rufier test) and statistical analysis methods. Research Results and Conclusions. An experimental verification of the program for improving the physical fitness of senior school students using athletics equipment was carried out. The experimental program consisted of speed-power, speed blocks and endurance block. It was established that in EG boys the increase in speed index was 3,92 %, speed-power index – 7,01 % and endurance index – 12,22 %. In contrast, in CG boys the highest percentage of increase was 3,49 % in the endurance index. Significant differences in the dynamics of indicators were observed when comparing the results of young men in the CG and EG (p<0,05), which emphasizes the effectiveness of the experimental program using athletics equipment. The endurance index in young men in the CG both at the beginning and after the experiment was lower than the average level of physical fitness. In contrast, in the EG boys, the endurance index shifted from average to above average fitness level (p<0,05), which emphasizes the effectiveness of athletics exercises for endurance development. Positive dynamics were found in the CG boys in the development of speed qualities, where the changes were statistically confirmed (p<0,05). After the experiment, more than half of the EG boys (64 %) were characterized by a high level of speed, the speed-strength indicators of 77 % of the boys corresponded to the average level of fitness, and 68 % of the EG boys achieved a higher than average level of endurance development, which emphasizes the high effectiveness of athletics equipment on physical fitness indicators.
