... n will increase in general. Physical education in universities as the final educational institution implies that in addition to preparation for performing GTO standards students are taught various tools to maintain and enhance their physical fitness in the future. This involves an introduction to systematic studies, the formation of the necessary knowledge and skills. The Results. Experimental data confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method by which power performance arm muscles improved; consequently, the results of performing such exercises as 'push-up in front leaning support' and 'pull up from the low'. Conclusion. This paper describes a technique aimed at increasing the level of the shoulder girdle strength abilities of students, the use of which will help their performance of the GTO arm strength standard exercises with a higher grade.
