Specialists of the research center "Ecology of Health" of the Polar State University (PSU) are investigating the parameters of physical development of schoolchildren.
This became possible due to the fact that the center won the grant of the competition of social projects "World of new opportunities" of the company Norilsk Nickel, ttelegraf.ru writes.
Students of the 10th grade of school No. 1 will take part in the study, and ten activists - students of the university will help the experts of the "Ecology of Health".
"The physical development of the subjects will be studied, namely: body weight, height, chest circumference, sensorimotor reactions and hand strength. They will check the oxygen saturation of the blood, pulse rate, pressure and vital capacity of the lungs," the PSU explained.
The information received will be processed, and it will become the basis of the municipal educational program in physical education from 1st to 11th grade with the use of health-saving technologies. The development will include innovative fitness technologies for schools in the North.
