Abstract: The paper presents the results of a study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of implementing high-intensity functional training (CrossFit) within elective physical education courses in higher education institutions. The experiment was conducted at MTUCI and involved 80 students divided into control and experimental groups. Over the course of one semester, the experimental group followed an adapted CrossFit training program that included progressively intense WOD (Workout of the Day) cycles, while the control group trained according to standard physical education methods. The conducted assessments (pull-ups, push-ups, shuttle run, heart rate measurement after exercise and after one minute of recovery) showed significant improvements in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results indicate that CrossFit promotes development of strength, endurance, coordination, and functional state of the cardiovascular system in students. The methodology demonstrated high adaptability to different levels of physical fitness among students and can be considered an effective alternative to traditional approaches in the educational process.
