Abstract
Objective. To develop methodology for assessing carpal dynamometry results which allows for a more qualitative complex evaluation of the physical development of military men of urgent service in the conditions of a military unit.
Materials and methods. The study included 647 young men undergoing compulsory military service, in whom the parameters of age, height, body weight, Quetelet index, chest circumference, spirometry, and carpal dynamometry were assessed using standard methods.
Results. It has been found by means of correlation analysis that carpal dynamometry values have a statistically significant relation with growth and body weight indices of the examined men and do not depend on age, chest circumference, or Quetelet index. A formula was developed and criteria were identified for determining the level of finger flexor muscle development in military men of urgent service on the basis of the obtained data using multivariate regression analysis. The comparative analysis of the results obtained by means of the developed methodology with the actual values of carpal dynamometry of the right and left hands, as well as the power index, has showed its advantages in assessing the level of the development of this muscle group in military personnel.
Conclusion. The use of this methodology will allow for a more qualitative complex evaluation of the physical development of military men of urgent service and, based on the obtained data, to plan, organize and carry out activities to improve their health in the conditions of a military unit purposefully and reasonably.
