Constitutional Characteristics of Physical Development in the Kyrgyz Population

Abstract

Personalized medicine is one of the priorities of the development of modern medical science. The aim of this study was to identify somatotypological features of physical development in men and women of the Kyrgyz population. The physical status of 1083 men and women in the Kyrgyz population (Osh, Kyrgyzstan) was studied by the method of complex anthropometry and somatotyping. The whole complex of the conducted anatomical and anthropometric examinations corresponded to generally accepted ethical standards, with the registration of informed consent from all the examined persons. The statistical analysis included the calculation of the arithmetic mean of the indicators of their mistakes. The differences were evaluated using the Student’s method at p<0.05. The results show that among women of youth and mature age, representatives of hypersthenic and normosthenic body types predominate; women of asthenic type are a minority (classification of M. V. Chernorutsky). Women of indeterminate somatotype (scheme of I. B. Galant et al.) belong either to the normal or hypersthenic type and never to the asthenic type. In men, the abdominal somatotype corresponds to a hypersthenic, thoracic-asthenic physique; men of the muscular type-mainly normosthenics; men of indeterminate type are both hypersthenics and normosthenics. The obtained data, undoubtedly, have not only theoretical, but also significant practical significance.

Transformation of the consciousness of post-nomads in the context of globalization

“…Currently, Kyrgyzstan is an agrarian country, more than 67% of the population lives in rural areas (Vdovenko et al, 2023). There are still people, in the country, who have either always lived in constant motion, or returned to a nomadic lifestyle after the country gained independence in 1991 as a result of the USSR's collapse (Sakibaev et al, 2022). These nomads are scattered across the mountains of Kyrgyzstan and continue to maintain their traditional way of life.…”

Art as a Communicative Factor of International Sports Ceremonies

“…In addition, many sports such as rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating and synchronised swimming are directly related to art forms such as music, drama, and choreography. In these sports, the beauty of movement, grace, plasticity, elegance, and aesthetics of the performance of a sports number is especially appreciated (Smirnov & Sadykova, 2021;Sakibaev, Kozuev, Atabaev, Alimbekova, & Argynbaeva, 2022).…”
