[Effect of physical work on the aging process in certain skeletal bones of the extremities].
The long-term investigation of the influence of physical exercise upon the structure of human skeleton revealed certain peculiar features in the process of developmental reconstruction of joints of the upper (humeral joint, hand joints) and lower (knee joint, the joints of the foot) extremities resulting from the occupation of the persons under study. Roentgen-anatomical studies performed in 433 industrial and 430 office workers established the fact of retardation and deceleration of ageing of the extremities bone system in representatives of physical labour as compared with office workers. So the significance of spectal physical exercises compensating the progressing with age hypodynamia in persons of non-physical labour gets special importance.
