[Method for the comprehensive improvement of health status and its effectiveness among college and university students].
We review our survey on the effectiveness of complex health state development.


OBJECTIVE
1. to complete an examination package which is able to assess a real picture about the bio-psychological and social situation of the person; 2. to determinate the effectiveness of the self-developed complex health-development program package on public health-development; 3. to prove the effectiveness of this project; 4. to determine a multi variable health model.


METHODS
Voluntary students participated the research (n = 125, 29 male, 96 female). Students were sorted into 3 groups by random selection. Their health state was examined before and after the program. Groups number I and II got a health care plan, while Group number I took part in a three-month health development program. Group number III served as control group. The health development program package contained a health care plan, a training plan, a psycho-training, a personal training and consultation.


RESULTS
Students tend to choose the more valuable and effective physical activity and they do that more regularly. The subjective health state improved significantly in the development groups (p 1 = 0.02; p 2 = 0.004). The vital distress improved significantly in group number I and there is a similar tendency in group number II. Significant difference was found between the two examinations of the mood state (Wilcoxon). By the end of the program, students got closer to their maximum performance by 13.4%. The frequency of the weekly exercises is the most important factor in the health state. According to the BMI and BDI, it improves the chance by one and a half to get into the good health state category.


CONCLUSIONS
The health care plan and/or personal recreational training in small groups can be operated effectively by using the proved selection, preparing and applying methods.
