Constitutional and Index Assessment of the Physical Development of Young People in the Altai Krai

The aim of the study was to comprehensively assess the indicators of physical development of adolescents subject to the assigned medical commission and young men subject to the military medical commission  living  in  the  Altai  Krai,  taking  into  account  their  motor  activity  by  the  index  method.

Material  and  methods. The study involved 1,186 young people of the Altai Krai aged 14–19 years. Among them there were 558 teenagers subject to the assigned medical commission and 628 young men subject to the military medical commission. Within each group, subgroups were identified in relation to motor activity. Each participant of the study gave voluntary informed written consent. The examination included the determination of 44 anthropometric parameters of the human body.

Results. The studied adolescents and young men were harmoniously developed,  however,  the  persons  subject  to  medical  commission, in  the  majority  had  an  asthenic  type, while the persons subject to military medical commission had normosthenic without taking into account motor activity. In the group of people with high motor activity, a strong physique was observed. The percentage of hypotrophy was higher in individuals with average motor activity in both study groups. A proportional type of fat deposition was observed in both study groups, however, in persons with average motor activity, the percentage of persons with a gynoid type of deposition was higher. Persons subject to military medical commission had higher Tanner Index scores. During the intragroup analysis, higher indicators of this index were noted in the group of people with high motor activity.

Conclusion. The results of the study conducted in groups of adolescents and young men subject to assigned medical commission and military medical commission living in the Altai Krai show the heterogeneity of the study groups. Increased motor activity contributes to the androgenization of adolescents and adolescents in general, an increase in the chest, an increase in body weight.
