METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF CHECKING THE INDICATORS OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Keywords:
physical development, children, adolescents, anthropometric measurements, physical fitness, body composition, health assessment, standardized protocols, cultural sensitivity.Abstract
This article discusses the methodological foundations for assessing the physical development indicators of children and adolescents. It highlights the importance of monitoring physical growth through anthropometric measurements, physical fitness assessments, and body composition analysis. The article emphasizes standardized data collection techniques, ethical considerations, and the need for cultural sensitivity. Key indicators include height, weight, BMI, endurance, strength, and flexibility. The analysis of these indicators aids in identifying health issues and promoting overall well-being.
