Abstract

Comparative analysis of basic anthropometric and fsomething indicators examined, based on which we established the basic trends in the state of physical development and adaptive capacities of adolescents in conditions of exposure to radioactive contamination. The study shows that the main anthropometric indicators (height, weight, chest circumference) were characterized by lower performance of the students, who are exposed to ionizing radiation; significant differences recorded among girls. Higher heart rate in the control group of patients characterized by the boys, experimental girls. Remarkable blood pressure is higher for adolescents of the experimental group. Indicators YELLOW also dominated the examined experimental group. The higher propensity for stress adaptation mechanisms in terms of AP recorded for children living in the contaminated area.
