Abstract

Introduction. The study of morphological features and body composition allows us to determine the features of the functional state, training status and, as a result, the level of physical health and well-being of young people. The aim of this study was to research the structure of anthropometric parameters associated with training status in various groups of modern student. Materials and methods. The material for this work was the results of complex anthropological expeditions of the Department of Anthropology of Faculty of Biology and Anuchin Institute and the Museum of Anthropology of Lomonosov Moscow State University (2010-2019), dedicated to assessing the morphological status of students from six cities of Russia and neighboring countries. Some anthropometric indicators, parameters of the body composition and the dynamometry of both hands for 541 boys and 697 girls aged 17 to 22 years were analyzed. Results and discussion. Intra- and intergroup correlations between different indicators of physical health and training level have allowed us to identify two main areas of variability. The first is associated with an increase in the average values of body mass and BMI due to an increase in the percent body fat while reducing the percent of the non-fat component. The second – with an increase in skeletal muscle and active cell mass in combination with an increase in the level of basic metabolism and dynamometry of the hands, which together can be considered as a training complex. The structure of the described factors is differentiated by gender, statistically significant differences in their size are found in students of different cities. Conclusion. Further study of the influence of different types, intensities and durations of physical activity on morphological and physiological characteristics will help to better identify lifestyle factors that determine the health of the modern population.
