Abstract

Relevance. The annual tendency of growth in the number of persons with reduced functional health reserves among school students, especially among high school students, entails a subsequent decline in health in all age groups and further affects the quality of labor resources, reproduction of generations. Therefore, one of the most important indicators of the health of the younger generation in the doctrine of the educational system of the Republic of Tyva is the preservation of students’ health in high school.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional capabilities of the organism of adolescents of titular nationality in the Republic of Tyva.

Materials and Methods. High school students of indigenous nationality in the Republic of Tyva were examined. The hand dynamometer was used to determine the indices of hand muscle strength, blood pressure, and heart rate were recorded in the state of relative rest. Statistical processing was performed using the programs «Statistica v. 7.0 © Statsoft, USA» using the χ2 criterion modified by Pearson.

Results. Heart rate is one of the most important indicators of the circulatory system. We did not find any difference in heart rate indicators in boys and girls. Assessment of the vegetative tone of schoolchildren (according to the Kerdo index) revealed sympathicotonia in most adolescents, eitonia was observed in 32.7 ±2.1% of boys and 31.4±1.9% of girls. Less often, the surveyed schoolchildren have vagotonia. Low reserves of the functional state of the cardiovascular system according to the Roufier index were recorded in half of the adolescents. The number of boys and girls with high reserves of the functional state of the cardiovascular system was almost the same as with an average level of reserves.

Conclusions. The obtained results of the study show that it is necessary to analyze the ratio of educational and physical load at school and at home, rationalization of nutrition and optimization of the regime for students.
