Determining the indicators of the external body structure, which are inherent in highly qualified athletes of a particular sport during the annual training macrocycle, can be reliable markers in sports selection. The aim of the work is to determine the differences of anthropometric dimensions in qualified young women volleyball players at the beginning of the preparatory period and at the end of the competitive period of the annual training cycle. We examined 36 young women volleyball players of the section of sports improvement of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya and the women’s volleyball team of the Super League of Ukraine “Bilozgar – Medical University”. All volleyball players belonged to a juvenile age (from 16 to 20 years) and had a high level of sportsmanship. We conducted two surveys of volleyball players during the 2018-2019 study year: the first – in September 2018, which corresponded to the beginning of the preparatory period of the annual training cycle; the second – in May 2019, which was at the end of the competitive period of the annual training cycle. Anthropometric measurement was performed by the method of V.V. Bunak (1941). The analysis of the obtained results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of indicators. At the end of the competition period, compared to the preparatory training period, volleyball players of high level of sportsmanship in adolescence showed a statistically significant decrease in body weight with a significant increase in shoulder width, chest circumference on inspiration, thighs and crus in the upper third, and a tendency to larger values of the height of the suprasternal and shoulder points, torso length and transverse mid-chest diameter. Certain somatometric features of volleyball players can be considered from two aspects: first, as a consequence of qualified prognostic sports selection, and secondly, as a result of training and competitive sports activities. Analysis of external body parameters in volleyball players during the annual macrocycle can be used as criteria for ascertaining sports selection, because when selecting at the stages of advanced specialization it is necessary to identify athletes capable of achieving high sports results, effective sports improvement in subsequent stages of training.

The purpose of the study: build and analyze the regression models of computed tomographic parameters necessary to determine the correct shape of dental arches, depending on the odontological and cephalometric parameters for girls with normal occlusion close to orthognathic occlusion and a wide type of face. Materials and methods: for 20 girls with normal occlusion close to the orthognathic bite and with a wide face type, in the license package "Statistica 6.0" developed regression models of linear sizes necessary for constructing the correct shape of dental arches, depending on odontometric and cephalometric indicators. Results: thus, in girls with normal occlusion close to orthognathic occlusion, having a wide type of face, all 18 possible reliable regression models (with a coefficient of determination from 0.620 to 0.973) of the reproduction of individual computed tomographic characteristics of the dental arches of upper and lower dental jaws depending on odonto- and cephalometric parameters were developed and analyzed. Conclusions: the results obtained indicate the need to take into account the type of face when calculating the parameters of dental arches.

The family character of atopic conditions, confirmed by many studies, has become the basis for the use of the method of dermatoglyphics to clarify the genetic nature of the “atopic march”. The purpose of the study was to identify differences in the features of palmar dermatoglyphics between patients with atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. Primary indexes of palmar dermatoglyphics of young men and young women patients with atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma were taken from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. According to the method of Cummins H. and Midlo Ch. dermatoglyphic study of 320 young men and young women with allergic rhinitis (n = 69), bronchial asthma (n = 108) and atopic dermatitis (n = 143) was performed. Quantitative indices of palmar dermatoglyphics were subject to analysis. The results obtained were processed using the Statistica 6.1 license package using non-parametric methods. It is established that the differences of quantitative indices of palmar dermatoglyphics between young men / young women with atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis cover 50.0% / 66.67%; among patients with atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma – 38.89% / 33.33%; among patients with allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma – 22.22% / 55.56% respectively. Thus, in young men, the marker potential for signs of palmar dermatoglyphics in the prognosis for the development of bronchial asthma in the presence of allergic rhinitis (22.22%) or atopic dermatitis (38.89%) are insignificant compared with the prognosis for the development of allergic rhinitis in the presence of atopic dermatitis (50.0%). In young women, the marker features of palmar dermatoglyphics in the prognosis for the development of bronchial asthma in the presence of atopic dermatitis are insignificant (33.33%) compared with the prognosis for the development of bronchial asthma in the presence of allergic rhinitis (55.56%) and the prognosis for the development of allergic rhinitis (66.67%).
