RESUMEN
Short-term physical exercise (Roufie test) was studied for its impact on the physiometric and functional parameters of first-year students engaged in a basic physical training group. According to the reaction to exercise and gender, the authors formed 3 groups: (1) girls with excellent performance after Roufie-Dixon; (2) girls and boys with good performance; (3) girls and boys with satisfactory performance. The changes in the study parameters indicated that the Roufie exercise test was adequate for Group I girls and Group 2 boys, in whom the adaptive potential after exercise was in the range of adaptive changes. In the other groups, short-term physical exercise led to adaptive potential transition toward the tension area. The changes of other study parameters were adequate to those in the adaptive potential during an exercise test.
