Abstract
The study of sex-specific correlations between anthropometric indicators and body composition components of military university entrants helps ensure their more effective adaptation to the educational process.
The aim of the study was to reveal associated and gender-independent correlations between the physical development parameters of male and female applicants to a military educational organization.
Material and methods. We investigated 377 boys and 213 girls aged 17 years (specially selected according to their age) residing in the central part of Russia. All university entrants were examined by specialists in the medical commissions of the military commissariats and were found to be practically healthy. We analyzed anthropometric data: body length, body weight, length of the torso, limbs, girth dimensions of the torso and limbs.
The Results. Military university entrants are characterized by harmonious muscular development corresponding to the norms of physical activity. Male applicants have a more symmetrical development of upper limb musculature, the amount of fat tissue in them is more associated with energy requirements. In girls an important parameter is the distal diameter of the forearm, which correlates with energy metabolism, body mass index, the development of limb musculature, the amount of visceral fat and the expression of subcutaneous fatty tissue.
Conclusion. Thus, the sex features identified by means of correlation analysis can contribute to the development of methodological recommendations for the selection of cadets during the military medical commission and the individualization of their training.
