Abstract:

The assessment of morphofunctional indicators of senior pupils living in the Ishim district was carried out by means of traditional methods. The examined pupils are characterized by an average level of physical development. In the course of the study no pupils with a high level of physical development were detected, except in the group of 16-years-old pupils (3%). The group of 12- and 13-year-old children included boys and girls with a low level of physical development (4%). Depending on their age, distribution of the schoolchildren according to the level of their physical development changed in wavelike patterns. The levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure rise with older children. The boys were found to have higher levels of blood pressure. The level of blood pressure is above the norm for all the groups under study. Lung capacity increases with age. The increase in lung capacity is more typical for boys, than for girls. In all the groups the living capacity of lungs is higher for boys than girls. The data obtained are accepted and used for objective assessment of the functional status of the children studying in the rural educational institutions of the south of the Tyumen Region as well as for planning a health care program for the children in comprehensive educational institutions. The data obtained during the experiment are used to optimize the functional status of pupils.
