FEATURES OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOLCHILDREN WHO ARE STUDYING IN SCHOOLS OF DIFFERENT TYPES
Abstract
Risk factors during the school period are continuous, systematic and long. Even the most minimum influences have their ability to be accumulate and are accompanied by violations of somatic, mental, physical and reproductive health. Change of system of school education increases influence of school factors on a state of health of pupils, and informatization and intensification of educational process are accompanied by decrease in level of health and physical development of children. The problem of health became the most actual now when transition from the mass unified education to differentiated education is carried out, thus training programs are extensive and correspond to age, physical and mental "forces" of the pupil a little. In research of influence of level of an intensification of education on physical development of children of an initial step of training studying of the main anthropometrical indicators (body length, weight, a thorax circle) children of 1-3rd classes of innovative and traditional schools of Irkutsk was carried out. In researches children, having low and moderate levels of stigmatization, risk factors in ontogenesis, biological and social anamneses took part. 465 children in total are investigated: in traditional school 72 children of 7-8 years and 69 children of 8-9 years, in innovative school 113 children of 7-8 years and 211 children of 8-9 years. It is shown that children starting training in innovative school differ from children of traditional school by higher rates of physical development. Against the raised academic load in children of innovative school some decrease of growth and weight indicators is observed and up to age of 8-9 years these indicators are compared to indicators of children of traditional school that testifies that the intensification of school training makes an adverse effect on indicators of physical development of children and demands further studying and hygienic rationing.
