To establish influence of sports-recreational classes on the level of health of student's youth. Material: 121 students participated in the research during I and II courses, who from I course were divided into groups on desire to be engaged in different types of sports-recreational classes. Groups are created on: swimming in the pool (14 students), jogging (12 students), football (18 students), basketball (16 students), volleyball (15 students), fitness (22 students), and strength sports (11 students) and tourism (hiking, ski, water, bicycle according to the comprehensive program) (13 students). Results: use of morpho-functional indicators gave the chance to establish dynamics of adaptation potential of students within two years who were engaged in different types of sports-recreational classes. Conclusions: it is established that during the biennial experiment the greatest shifts in indicators of adaptation potential are received at students who were engaged in sports-recreational tourism to what promoted both training in the fresh air and various means of tourist activity including preparation and participation in hiking on weekend and holidays.
