title: [The functional state of the cardiovascular system and the level of physical performance in 7-8-year-old children under conditions of aerotechnogenic pollution].
abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the functional state of the cardiovascular system and the level of physical performance in 7-8-year-old children living in the urban area where air pollution caused by heavy vehicle traffic is high. The cardiovascular system and physical performance were evaluated using the conventional methods in 7-8-year-old 1097 children: a control group included 652 children (363 boys and 289 girls) and a comparison group consisted of 445 persons (239 boys and 206 girls). Under aerotechnogenic pollution, diastolic and mean blood pressures were found to be higher in both groups; the maximum oxygen consumption was lower in the boys and the girls had a decreased heart rate following 4-minute exercise.
