Aim: to define interrelation of the level of physical fitness with morphofunctional indices of qualified rugby players in rugby-7. Materials and methods of research. The following commonly applied methods were used in the research: analysis of academic and methodological references and Internet sources, pedagogical survey and testing, methods of mathematical statistics. 12 leading athletes of “Podillya” (Khmelnytskyi) that took the first place in Ukraine rugby-7 super league championship took part in the research. Results. To achieve the aim set, pedagogical research of morphofunctional indices has been carried out. Instrumental methods of body conposition definition using bioimpendance method on “Tanita–RD545” scales have been used. Differences related to anthropometric indices of the team’s players depending on their positions druing the game have been revealed: forwards displayed higher body weight and height compared to defenders. As a result of pedagogical testing of of the level of physical fitness, it has been determined that forwards prevail in speed test. Tight correlations with morphofunctional indices were displayed in the following tests: long jump from the spot, 20-meter dash while carrying the ball; 10-meter dash showed poorer performance. Conclusions. The results of the research prove that the applied methods reflect various aspects of rugby players’ physical fitness. Among indices of the level of physical fitness, the following tests have the most correlations (4 of 5) with morphofunctional indices: long jump from the spot, 20-meter dash while carrying the ball. This gives ground to assume that speed-and-power as well as speed qualities belong to basic qualities.
