Abstract

Materials and methods. The materials of a comprehensive anthropometric survey of the indigenous population of the Altai Republic, carried out in 2017-2018, were used. 3 groups of men with different levels of physical activity and sports loads were formed: highly qualified athletes, men who practice amateur sports, and sedentary men. Anthropometric measurements were carried out according to the standard protocols of the Research Institute and the Museum of Anthropology of Moscow State University using anthropometric instruments of the GPM system. To determine the body composition by the bioimpedance method, an ABC-02 Medas equipment (Medas, Russia) was used. Somatotypes were assessed using the Heath-Carter scheme. Statistical analysis was carried out using the standard Statistica 10 package. Results and discussion. A comparative analysis of the morphological characteristics of Altai men, according to the level of physical activity, showed that intragroup variability was found mainly in the girth size, the distribution of subcutaneous fat on the trunk and upper extremities, body composition indicators and the size of somatotype components, and was conditioned by the professional sports skills of the athletes. Highly qualified Altai athletes differ by an increased development of the muscle component on the upper limbs with average values of the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the skeleton, which are intrinsic characteristic of the males of the Altai population. Significant physical activity associated with daily work activities and amateur sports do not fully compensate for the consequences of an inactive lifestyle. The study showed the need to take into account the socio-economic, demographic and cultural conditions of populations to assess the physical condition, healthy lifestyle propaganda and increasing role of physical culture and sports.
