Dynamics of acute respiratory infections in school-age children in Surgut

Aim: to study the dynamics of acute respiratory infections in school-age children of Surgut from 2014 to 2019 and to determine its dependence on the types of motor activity of students. Materials and methods. The study involved 40 secondary education institutions of Surgut (about 38203 students). Morbidity rate of children with acute respiratory infections was calculated, the analysis of physical activity programs was carried out. The dynamics of health in children was studied for students with a standard physical education program and with some additional motor activities (including sports swimming, combat sports, fitness, etc.). Results. The features of the implemented physical education programs influence body resistance to acute respiratory infections, which affects morbidity rate as a whole. Traditional educational programs are not fully able to compensate for the necessary level of motor activity of students in the North, which adversely affects the immune system, as well as other body systems. Conclusion. The use of additional programs for physical education classes in Surgut significantly reduces morbidity rate in general and in each institution in particular.
