Objective of the study was to analyze the topics of biomedical theses for the biology PhD and Doctoral degrees defended for the period of 2016-18. Methods and structure of the study. We analyzed for the purposes of the study 63 biomedical theses for the biology PhD and Doctoral degrees defended for the period of 2016-18 in the following 8 research specialties: 03.01.09, 03.03.01, 03.03.04, 14.01.08, 14.01.14, 14.02.01, 14.02.02 and 19.00.02. Results and conclusions. Our analysis of the modern physical-education-and-sports-related biomedical theses showed some regress in the numbers of PhD and Doctoral theses for the last three years, with the particularly significant recession of the research interests in preschool physical education and sports, academic youth physical education and sports, biomedical provisions for physical education and sports and mass physical education and sports related matters - explainable by a general reduction of interest in these research fields on the one hand and more stringent requirements to the research theses on the other hand, that could have been of inhibition effect on the interest of young researchers.
