[Medical college students' self-appraisal of physical development]
Abstract:
The first-year students of a Moscow medical college based on 11 forms studied the specific features of their physical and functional development, by measuring the basic anthropometric indices--height and weight, chest circumference and excursion, lung capacity, the data of dynamometry, spirometry, a test of 10 squats per 10 sec, and breath-holding time. The findings characterize the physical and functional development of adolescents from this group and are a convincing basis for them to develop an individual long-term program for molding a healthy lifestyle.
