%X This article is investigating the comparative analysis of anatomical,
physiological, and psycho-emotional adaptation indicators of 100 male and 100
female first-year students of the international medical faculty in Osh,
Kyrgyzstan. Control groups have consisted of 100 male and 100 female local students
of the same age, residing in the Osh city and region. Anthropometry is
determined by 50 indicators, such as bio-impedance analysis of body composition,
functional tests with exercise, and breathe holding. In addition, the girls underwent an assessment of sexual development according to Tyner. The psychological
state was assessed using the L¨šschers color test and SpielbergerĄ¯s
questionnaire. The features of anthropometric indicators for students from
India are shown as a shorter length of the body, shoulder, and legs, greater
waist coverage, an increase in the thickness of the skin folds of the
abdomen, increased fat mass and delayed sexual development, anxiety, frequent
and longer colds. Functional tests for breath
holding and physical activity revealed less reserve capacity in foreign
students. This requires the development of rehabilitation programs for foreign
students, starting from the first year.
