The purpose of the study is to compare and evaluate the dynamics of key body composition parameters among students participating in an intramural wellness program designed to correct body weight and optimize metabolic profile. The study is motivated by the high prevalence of physical inactivity and its associated morphofunctional disorders in the student population. Research methods and organization. During a two-month pedagogical experiment using bioimpedance analysis, a dynamic assessment of the ratio of fat to muscle mass, as well as the basal metabolic rate, was conducted. Research results and conclusions. Most of the program participants experienced a decrease in overall body weight and body mass index. This change was accompanied by a statistically significant reduction in both absolute and relative fat mass, along with a simultaneous increase in the muscle component. Moderate positive trends in basal metabolic rate indicators were also observed. Systematic high-intensity physical exercise within the university program exerts a beneficial comprehensive effect, normalizing morphological parameters and activating metabolic processes in students. Bioimpedance monitoring is an effective tool for objectively assessing condition and individualizing physical fitness and wellness programs.
