[Comparative analysis of physical and biological development of schoolchildren in Moscow].
The study of physical development in lateral (longitudinal) studies is carried out with the aim to determine the dynamics of alterations of anthropometric indices, the level of biological maturation and functional indices of children and adolescents in different time intervals. The longitudinal study (2003-2010) allowed to discover that modern schoolchildren exceed their peers of 60th and 80th in main anthropologic indices and the level of biological development but they seriously get behind on functional indices. The findings show the necessity of the working out of modern normatives for the assessment of physical development, rescheduling of normatives of biological development of schoolchildren and search of mechanisms for decrease of functional indices.
