Introduction: Strength training is traditionally a vital component of motor culture and has been the focus of numerous studies which identify strength as a fundamental physical ability with a key role in athletic performance. Methods: The study aims to optimize the strength potential of university students through sports activities targeting the development of dynamic strength. A study was conducted involving 60 students from various academic programs, who participated in a 12-week training program. Results: Strength performance was assessed through tests for explosive strength, muscular endurance, and bodyweight-based functional exercises. The analysis included a comparison of initial and final test results using statistical methods to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. The registered data demonstrated a significant increase in indicators of muscular endurance and explosive strength in more than 80% of the participants. A positive correlation was found between the participation and progress in strength development. The discussion addresses the potential for adapting the model to various educational programs and sports disciplines. The conclusion is that implementing strength training interventions within the academic curriculum leads to a significant improvement in students' physical fitness and has high applicability in university sports practice.
