Variability of indicators of physical fitness of adolescent schoolchildren living in urban and rural areas

Morphological research methods, as well as pedagogical testing methods, have been applied to conduct a comparative assessment of the variability of indicators of physical development and physical fitness of adolescent schoolchildren living in urban and rural areas. Differences in indicators of physical development and the level of physical fitness between schoolchildren living in rural and urban areas have been revealed. It has been established that living conditions, features of motor activity, the performance of many types of activities in conditions of hypokinesia, the nature of physical exertion affect not only body parameters, but also the level of physical fitness of schoolchildren.
