[Health status evaluation in children]. / Ob otsenke zdorov'ia detei.

A dependence of a health status on a condition of adaptation and of functional reserves of child's organism was studied. It was shown that the health status of contemporary schoolchildren is characterized, alongside with a higher prevalence of poly-organs' and morphological-and-functional deviations and chronic pathologies, by impaired rates and a lack of harmonic physical development as well as by a low level of reserve organism abilities. A variety of measures is suggested to promote the existing system of physical education.
