Abstract: The article reflects the assessment of the body resistance of students of the «North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov», living in the Far North, to hypoxic conditions. 146 people took part in the study – 119 boys and 27 girls. Of these, the study group consisted of 74 student – athletes (59 boys, 15 girls), the control group consisted of 72 students engaged in physical education according to the general program of the University (60 boys, 12 girls). The average age of the surveyed was 21± 2,5 years. To identify the assessment of the body's resistance to hypoxia in Yakutia athletes, the following functional tests were conducted: the Stange test (breath holding on inhalation) and the Genchi test (breath holding on exhalation). The obtained results of the study allowed us to see the prevailing excellent criterion (assessment "excellent") in athletes and the average criterion (assessment "good") in the control group, the results with an unsatisfactory criterion (assessment "unsatisfactory") were less. The conducted assessment shows a positive level of non-specific adaptive capabilities of the respiratory system in the studied students. The functional resistance of the respiratory system to hypoxia in young men was significantly higher than in girls. Keywords: athletes of Yakutia, students, hypoxia, Stange's test, Genchi test
