In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of functional training applied for eight weeks on the body composition and some physical fitness parameters of male volunteer paramedic students studying at a university's health services vocational schools. In order to determine the effects of functional training applied for eight weeks on body composition (body weight, height, body fat percentage, body mass index), standing long jump, flexibility, push-ups, sit-ups, speed and balance parameters, a pre-test-post-test protocol was applied and the difference between the two measurements was calculated. Normality and T-Tests were used in the analysis of all parameters. Significance was determined at the p<0.05 level. Pretest-posttest modeling was used in the modeling of the tests. Statistically significant differences were found in the pre-test-post-test values of all parameters examined (p<0.05). Significant differences or decreases were observed between the parameters measured at the beginning and end of the eight-week period. It was determined that with regular exercises, the values of body weight normalized with gradually decreasing, also there is a positive effect in other parameters both in terms of sports and health. The importance of following these parameters, which are important markers in terms of health, in terms of health problems that may be experienced in the future and taking the necessary precautions, and the necessity of the physical performance of male paramedic students in the professional sense have emerged.
