Abstract
Objective: to assess the degree of development of morphological and functional indicators of city schoolchildren. Material and methods. The study involved schoolchildren aged 10, 12, 13, by 100 people in each age category. During the study we carried out qualitative and quantitative measurements of height, weight, chest excursion, head circumference, carpal dynamometry and spirometry using the Erismann and Pine index. Results. It was revealed that the majority of city girls and boys had deviations from the standard values in terms of the Erismann and Pine index. Conclusion. The studies have shown that the majority of schoolchildren have abnormalities in somatometric and physiometric indicators. The reasons for that may be unfavorable ecological situation in Gomel, poor diet, not enough active lifestyle, and genetic predisposition to a certain type of body type.
