MORPHOFUNCTIONAL INDICATORS OF NORTHERN CHILDREN 7-10 YEARS WITH VARIOUS MOTOR ACTIVITIES

Abstract

However, so far there is not enough information on the evaluation of the morphofunctional status of the body of northern children born and living in the Middle Ob region and engaged in physical culture and sport in the northern conditions.The purpose of the research was to study the morphofunctional indicators of 7-10-year-olds from the North with various motor activity. The study involved 120 pupils of the primary schools № 2, 43 and 37 in Surgut, KhMAR-Yugra. Children were divided into two groups: experimental group (EG) – 30 boys and 30 girls – 7-10 year olds, engaged in various sports (skiing, swimming, football, gymnastics, etc.) and attending school physical education classes (motor activity – at least 10 hours a week) and control group (CG) – 30 boys and 30 girls – children not doing sports, but attending physical education classes (motor activity – at least 3 hours a week). All children belonged to the same medical group regarding their health. The findings revealed the morphofunctional features of northern children 7-10 years and can serve as criteria in the evaluation of the functional state of pupils doing sports in specific climatic and geographical conditions of the Middle Ob region.
