Abstract
The following factors determining the functional state (FS) of the body of five- and six-year-old children (n = 155) have been identified during the research: parasympathetic regulation of FS (factor I); hemodynamic support of cognitive activity (factor II); efficiency of cognitive activity (factor III); nonspecific stability of the body (factor IV); sympathetic regulation of FS (factor V); general work capacity (factor VI). The systematic approach implemented in this study allowed consideration of the psychophysiological content of these factors. In general, the results of research demonstrate the existence of rather stable, qualitatively peculiar groups of variables characterizing different aspects of preschool children’s FS. There is a set of stable relationships between various elements of FS ensuring its integrity. The significant relationship between physical performance and FS aspects, such as productivity and efficiency of cognitive activity, sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation of physiological functions, and nonspecific stability of body to cold-related illnesses, suggests the possibility of purposeful influence on children’s FS during intense activity using adequate programs of physical exercise.
