Morphofunctional and Psycho-Physiological Features of Teenagers’ Development in Correlation With Lifestyle Factors

Abstract

The current paper features the impact the lifestyle of modern teenagers has on their psycho-physiological development. It shows an analysis of the nutrition and motor activity of adolescents aged 12-13 and the gender differences in their psycho-physiological and morphofunctional development. A complex analysis of lifestyle factors (day regimen, nutrition balance, level of motor activity) have allowed the authors to classify 66,7 % of adolescents as«low risk» of health disorders development and 33,3 % as an «increased risk» group. The«low risk» group has a greater number of representatives with harmonious physical development, a high level of neurodynamic indicators, memory and attention. A correlation analysis of lifestyle and indicators of morphofunctional and psycho-physiological development has been carried out. The interrelation between the features of nutrition and the motor activity of adolescents has been established by the indicators of psycho-physiological development.
