Material:Rugby players (n=20) from sports club “KhTZ” (16-17-year-olds) participated in a research. Athletes were divided into two groups: the control group (n=10), the experimental group (n=10). The experimental group trained with music. The groups were tested on the level of physical fitness at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. The following tests were applied:30 m run,400 m run, barbell press in a prone position (maximum value),3 km run. Results: It is defined the influence of music on physical fitness indicators of athletes. It is revealed a confident increase in indicators of the general endurance (3 km run) and special endurance (400 m run) in students of the experimental group. The students of the control group had a confident increase in result in400 m but in smaller significance value. Conclusions: The received data confirm the expediency of music application in young athletes’ training for the development of the general and special endurance.
