The university was found in 1950 and originally named as Omsk State Institute of Physical Culture. The first building given to the Institute was not applicable for sport needs at all because there were no gymnasium and lecture hall.

During the all years the university has trained about 40 000 specialists, among which there are more than 50 winners and medalists of The Olympic Games.
