Cooperation between universities continues in the implementation of mutual research projects to identify effect of the sports specialization on functional indices of the cardio-respiratory system of athletes in various profiles and on personal characteristics of students engaged in physical culture and sports. Results of research projects have been published in the journals of various ranks.

1. Development of criteria for evaluating changes in the status of the cardiorespiratory system and isolating risk groups among of athletes at different stages of long-term adaptation to muscular activity with disadaptation disorders in the cardiorespiratory system.

1. Introduction in practice sports activities in the athletes of the technique training breathing: increased resistance to breathing, breathing through an additional "dead" space, arbitrary hypoventilation during muscular work.

1. Putting into practice the sports activity of sportsmen techniques of the volitional breath (hypercapnic training) for the training of breathing.
