The paper presents the analysis results of the anthropometric and functional indicators of children
between the ages of 7 and 12 years who permanently reside in Surgut. All surveyed schoolchildren (181
persons – 95 boys and 86 girls) were divided by age and sex. The main anthropometric and functional
indicators of the cardiovascular system were analyzed. We established that the growth and development
of the examined boys and girls corresponded to general biological patterns. It was found that most of the
boys have various deviations from normal body weight: the presence of overweight and obesity were
recorded in 50 per cent of cases, body weight deficit was determined in 12 per cent of cases. Normal
body weight was recorded most often in the group of girls (85 per cent). The stress adaptation
mechanisms was characteristic of every third pupil. We found a high percentage of the stress occurrence
frequency in all schoolchildren, but girls had it more common than boys. The obtained data once again
confirmed the importance of early diagnosis of the cardiovascular system state for determining the
organism adaptation level to adverse social and climatic conditions.
