Abstract

In the article there are results of the complex research of basic anthropometric indices and somatotypes of children and adolescents aged from 7 to 17 residing in Gomel. The periods of the acceleration and deceleration of the increase rates of the basic anthropometric indices have been revealed. The determination of the somatotypes of the children and adolescents according to Shtefko-Ostrovsky scheme showed that in the group of schoolchildren the children with muscular somatotype predominated. Meanwhile as the children mature the tendency to decrease the number of the schoolchildren with thoracal and to increase the ones with muscular somatotype is revealed.
