Summary/Abstract: The study investigates the physical development and functional condition of 10th and 11th-grade students through anthropometric and functional indicators. Key morphological parameters such as height, weight, and chest circumference were analyzed, alongside the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Ruffier Index (RI). Results indicate comparable morphological features between the control and experimental groups. The experimental program improved cardiovascular endurance, reflected in lower RI values. These findings underscore the importance of specialized physical education programs in enhancing health and physical capabilities among high school students.
