Abstract
Aim: The article is dedicated to the study of the efficiency of complex of physical exercises on the dynamics of work of the cardiovascular system in primary school-age children with. Evaluation of the efficiency of influence of the complex of physical exercises on the dynamics of work of the cardiovascular system of children with scoliosis.
Materials and Methods: 30 children (18 boys and 12 girls) with scoliosis, who performed the complex program of physical exercises, were examined. The age range of children is from 7 to 10. The activity of the cardiovascular system was evaluated based on the parameters of pulse pressure, stroke volume, maximal and relative aerobic capacity, pulse tolerance limit, and mean aortic pressure.
Results: A possible increase in all parameters of the cardiovascular system after physical exercises was found. Increase in Maximum aerobic capacity (200,01±11,27 against 94,11±6,79 in boys; 210,01±7,90 against 64,32±1,22 in girls; (р<0,05) and relative Maximum aerobic capacity (5,97±0,51 against 3,57±0,79 in boys; 6,81±0,67 against 2,62±0,19 in girls; р<0,05) was shown. A possible increase in aortic pressure after physical exercises can indicate the increased pressure on a child’s organism.
Conclusion: Scoliosis progression in children forms increased pressure on the work of the cardiovascular system, which manifests in the increase of pulse, mean aortic pressure, and stroke volume, and differs depending on age and sex and requires the development of the individual rehabilitation plan with consideration of found changes.
