Monitoring of the physical fitness of 17-19 year old young men during physical education

Abstract

According to the purpose of the study, in the process of physical education, indicators of physical development, functional state, level of physical working capacity, basic motor qualities, morbidity by the main classes of diseases were investigated and analysed. Analysis of the average statistical indicators of physical development, in particular length and body weight, girth dimensions meet the age standards. We found that 25.0 % (n = 39) of young men have a body mass deficit, in 17.3 % (n = 27) of young men the body mass index is within 25.1-30 that corresponds to the level of "overweight", and the remaining 7.7 % (n = 12) of young men have an excess body weight and corresponds to the level of "obesity". Analysis of the functional state of the cardiovascular system showed that 41.0 % (n = 64) of young men have a high heart rate at rest (80 to 96 beats min-1), signs of bradycardia are observed in 5.1 % (n = 8) of young men. Symptoms of hypotension are characteristic of 2.6 % (n = 4), and signs of hypertension are found in 7.7 % (n = 12) of young men. An analysis of the individual results of the vital capacity of the lungs indicated that 23.1 % (n = 36) of young men had low results.
