The paper presents the results of the analysis aimed at studying the changes in the level of intellectual work capacity of students (according to Burdon technique). As for the distribution of work capacity indicators for male and female students during the learning process, it was uneven. Male students showed high attention stability and predominantly low concentration values, while female students had predominantly average values of concentration and attention stability. Female students showed higher concentration values than male students, which speaks for a higher ability of females to be more attentive in completing the learning assignments. Male students showed higher attention stability values than female ones, which means that young men have more opportunities to variate the speed of metal activitiy when performing the tasks. The fact that male students had low concentration values while female students showed high attention stability values is indicative of the inhibitory processes occurring diring the intensive learning activity period which triggers off the protective adaptive mechanisms. Female students, along with the average indicator values, showed low attention stability and concentration values prevaling over high values, which can be explained by fatigue and emotional stress during the training period. Psychological adaptation is one of the leading factors in restructuring the adaptive capacity of a human body. This factor helps developing the special features of adaptation at other physiological levels. Personal and typological features play a most important role when evaluating the effectiveness of adaptation.
