Monitoring of psychophysiological and physical development of participating students of the intellectual game-universal education

Training chess of pupils of elementary grades is provided in many countries around the world, but a comprehensive evaluation of the physiological «cost» of adaptation to increased mental stress wasn''t carried out. We carried out studying of features of physical and psychophysiological development, health of junior and secondary schools in Chelyabinsk classes participating in the chess education. Found that in all age groups predominate students with an average level of physical development, from the 1-st to the 4-th grade is increased by 5 % the number of boys with «high level» of the body length and the level of body weight below the average of 7 % – girls with lower levels of body mass medium, and the amount girls level above average weight – 5 %. In the dynamics of learning in the lower grades have decreased from 23,3–23,9 % and 13,7–14,1 % of the boys and girls belonging to the first group of health. Students of both sexes engaged in chess education program for more than 3 years, more adapted for school: they have increase humoral factors of metabolic regulation during mental stress (in the control group revealed sympathicotonic reaction), they have higher scores in tests «Assessment of attention» and «Immunity» achievement in the subjects of «math» and «science», however, higher morbidity, more than the number of persons with symptoms of autonomic changes (45 %), which requires the development and implementation requires corrective measures.
