Abstract

This article presents the research results of the physical development of 712 adolescents aged 15-16 years old and the updated regional standard for the physical development of adolescents in Yakutia. The body length and weight, the circumference of the chest, waist and thigh were measured. According to the results of the research, the average growth among indigenous boys was 168.4 cm (SD = 8.2), for girls 164.2 cm (SD = 8.0), the average body weight was 58.9 kg (SD = 12.4), 56.5 kg (SD = 10.7), respectively. Average values of breast circumference in boys were 83.4 cm (SD = 8.4), in girls 83.5 cm (SD = 7.9), waist circumference – 71.7 cm (SD = 9.5) in boys, 70.0 cm (SD = 8.1) in girls, hip circumference were 91.0 cm (SD = 7.8) and 90.9 cm (SD = 7.0), respectively. A comparative analysis of somatometric indicators of modern adolescents with data from 2003 revealed that on average, modern 15-year-old boys and girls became 5.8 cm higher than their peers. At the age of 16, young men did not show differences in growth, and modern girls of this age were 8.2 cm higher than their peers (p < 0.000). Body weight in modern adolescents became higher in all age groups from an average of 2.6 to 9.8 kg (p < 0.000). The chest indices became larger on average from 2.1 to 5 cm (p < 0.000).
