Physical development and psychical function states in junior schoolchildren

The authors studied the physical development level and condition of physical and neurodynamic functions in junior schoolchildren. The 55 girls and 53 boys of the fourth form of a secondary school of nine-year age were examined. To evaluate the children's physical development, the authors measured the subjects' anthropometric and functional indices. Their results show that the physical development level correlates with the condition of psychical and neurodynamic functions. The physical development is inseparable from the formation of the psychophysiological functions in junior schoolchildren with learning. (Tab. 6, Ref. 16)
