Abstract

The basic characteristics of the cardiovascular system, physical capacity, and the degree of tension of regulatory mechanisms in the state of rest and under functional loading were identified on the basis of longitudinal studies in children of senior preschool and junior school ages, including boys and girls with low, medium, and high habitual physical activity (LHPA, MHPA, and HHPA). Analysis of the statistical distribution of traits using the χ2 and λ tests and the average statistical data on various functional indicators in the total sample identified a fairly wide area and qualitative differences in physiological individuality in a healthy population and the advisability of distinguishing three typological groups, i.e., functional types (FT-1, LHPA; FT-2, MHPA; FT-3, HHPA). The typological parameters of the first and second orders for each FT and performance test parameters of the third order describing the current functional state have been distinguished. Determination of the physiological features of FT-1, FT-2, and FT-3 with the establishment of their functional reserves and adaptive capacity permits the identification of different strategies of interaction between the body and the environment, estimation of their advantages and disadvantages, and a more reasonable approach to optimization of physical condition and premorbid diagnosis.
