Natural increase in morphofunctional indicators of eight to twelve years old boys living in Siberia
Study of the natural increase of the main morphofunctional indicators of boys aged 8-12 years old living in the complex climate-geographic conditions in the East Siberia. The authors conducted the dynamic morphofunctional study of boys. The assessment of physical and functional development included the main indicators that characterize the plasticity of natural changes of the growing body. A statistical computation carried out using Statistica 10. The authors have established that the main indicators of the physical and functional development boys 8-12 years old correspond to the lower limits of age standards, that it was an indication of the heterochronous physical development and functional status of children. The study of mor-phofunctional features in the practice of physical education of junior schoolchildren living in the adverse climatogeographic conditions of the northern cities of Eastern Siberia has both theoretical and practical importance from a pedagogical and medical point of view. The results are interesting in conducting population studies, monitoring physical health, solving corrective problems and identifying the impact of socioeconomic conditions on the individual physical condition of Siberian children.
