[Evaluation of the physical development of adolescents of call-up age and armed forces personnel].
At present, there are no methods for evaluating the physical development of subjects of call-up age, which present problems during recruitment of those who can adequately cope with set problems for armed forces. A large number of conscripts were examined, by using anthropometry, physiometry, the Stange test, and exercise test. A classification system was developed on the basis of mathematical models derived by means of discriminant analysis. The procedure tested by the authors could determine the informative value of indices and identify the most important indices for the objective evaluation of an individual's physical development. The software implementation of the proposed approaches will permit a rapid evaluation of physical development both during the work of a draft board' and in the military unit.
