Abstract
For the first time, using bioimpedancemetry and Heath-Carter physique schemes, somatic types and body mass composition were established in healthy men of the 1st period of adulthood living in high mountains (h 2469-3325 m above sea level). Somatotypological features of body composition were revealed. An intertype analysis of body composition in individuals of different body types was carried out. Research objectives: to study the somatic types and composition of body mass in healthy men of the first period of adulthood permanently residing in highlands. The object of the study were healthy men aged 22-35 years old permanently residing at an altitude of 2469-3325 m above sea level. Alpine research was carried out on the basis of the medical and preventive institution Chon-Alai and Alai regions in compliance with the principles of ethics. A total of 208 mountaineers were examined. Among the subgroups of somatotypes, mesectomorphy, endectomorphy and meso-endomorphy prevail.
