Morphofunctional development of 13-15-year old girls of different somatotypes

Abstract

The present article provides a comparative analysis of the morphofunctional indicators of 13–15 year old girls of different types of constitution, living in the cities of Pavlodar and Kyzylorda. Most of the studied schoolgirls belonged to the thoracic and muscular types of constitution. Considerable attention is paid to the comparison of such morphological parameters as body length (BL), body mass (BM), chest circumference (CC), wrist strength (WS), cardio-respiratory system indices at rest and after dosed load. The study found that morphological parameters (BL, BM, CC) in girls of two regions increase from asthenoid type to digestive. The results show that the capacity of the cardio-respiratory system of girls of the digestive type is less compared with schoolgirls of other somatotypes.
