Anthropometric indicators of students adolescence in the beginning of training in high school
The article presents the results of anthropometric measurements of 253 first-year students of 17-18 years. The main morphological and functional indicators of physical development - height, weight, chest circumference were defined. We assessed physical development, depending on the age and gender of the students. We have noted the influence of somatotype on the harmony of physical development, the level and dynamics of mental capacity. Actual physical status of the surveyed students considered as a baseline for determining the limits of physical activity in an individual program of health promotion and healthy lifestyles in the initial period of adaptation to training in high school.
