We consider differentiated development of motor qualities among schoolchildren. Increasing the level of physical fitness of students, is the foundation for overall performance and health, the removal of nervous experiences and negative stress, a noticeable sign of physical improvement of a person. Among the relevant issues of physical education of schoolchildren, the leading place is occupied by the issues associated with the differentiated development of motor qualities among schoolchildren. The analyzed sources about the constant acceleration of physical development in connection with socio-economic conditions are directly related to the schoolchildren of the group we study. The main indicators of physical fitness of the studied group of schoolchildren 7–14 years old coincide with the results of studies by other authors. Constant study of the level of physical fitness of schoolchildren of different classes living in a particular area allows us to objectively assess the content of pedagogical work in the lessons of various directions, effectively monitor the progress of development and the rate of growth of motor qualities in each age period.

The article reveals the peculiarities of the use of athletics to improve the physical fitness of students of higher education institutions. The influence of physical education on motivation for athletics is also revealed. It is established that the use of means and methods of athletics in physical education classes in higher education institutions leads to a significant increase in the level of physical fitness. It was found that one of the factors influencing the growth of student morbidity and low level of their physical development is the lack of physical activity. The combination of these factors determines the level of physical fitness and efficiency, which, in turn, are important indicators of professional training of students. However, the use of other methods of strength development, the method of unsatisfactory efforts with a normalized number of repetitions, the method of unsatisfactory efforts with the maximum number of repetitions, the method of dynamic efforts, the shock method, the method of static efforts, the static-dynamic method, the method of circular training, the game method has a beneficial effect on the development of all physical qualities. The decrease in the indicators of general physical fitness is facilitated by the fact that during the holidays, students practically do not go in for sports on their own. As the analysis of the survey has shown, only students of higher educational institutions are independently engaged in physical culture.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between childhood undernutrition and poverty in urban and rural areas.DesignAnthropometric and socio-economic data from Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys in Angola-Secured Territory (Angola ST), Central African Republic and Senegal were used in this analysis. The population considered in this study is children 0–59 months, whose records include complete anthropometric data on height, weight, age, gender, socio-economic level and urban or rural area of residence. In addition to simple urban/rural comparisons, the population was stratified using a wealth index based on living conditions and asset ownership to compare the prevalence, mean Z-score and odds ratios for stunting and wasting.ResultsIn all cases, when using a simple urban/rural comparison, the prevalence of stunting was significantly higher in rural areas. However, when the urban and rural populations were stratified using a measure of wealth, the differences in prevalence of stunting and underweight in urban and rural areas of Angola ST, Central African Republic and Senegal disappeared. Poor children in these urban areas were just as likely to be stunted or underweight as poor children living in rural areas. The odds ratio of stunting in the poorest compared with the richest quintile was 3.4, 3.2 and 1.5 in Angola ST, Senegal and Central African Republic, respectively.ConclusionsThis paper demonstrates that simple urban/rural comparisons mask wide disparities in subgroups according to wealth. There is a strong relationship between poverty and chronic undernutrition in both urban and rural areas; this relationship does not change simply by living in an urban environment. However, urban and rural living conditions and lifestyles differ, and it is important to consider these differences when designing programmes and policies to address undernutrition.

Through a latent class analysis approach, we can classify individuals and identify subgroups according to health behavior patterns, and find evidence for the development of customized intervention programs to target high-risk groups. Our study aimed to explore differences in latent classes of health behaviors in adolescents by region (urban vs. rural areas) in a Korean city. This cross-sectional secondary analysis utilized data collected from all first graders’ student health checkups in middle school and high school in a city of the largest island in Korea in 2016 (n = 1807). Health behavior indicators included both healthy (consuming breakfast regularly, consuming vegetables daily, consuming milk daily, consuming fast food on a limited basis, engaging in vigorous physical activities, brushing teeth, and practicing hand hygiene) and unhealthy (drinking, smoking, and overusing the internet) behaviors. Nutritional and diet behaviors were important factors for classifying healthy and unhealthy adolescents in both regions. Approximately 11% of rural students belonged to the risky group, which was characterized by a high level of drinking alcohol and smoking. These results suggest that when developing health policies for adolescents, customized policy-making and education based on the targeted groups’ behavioral patterns could be more effective than a uniform approach.

Many states are adopting economic education standards for the K-12 curriculum, mandating economic education courses in rural and urban schools. We examine economic education outcomes for rural and urban students using test scores gathered during a national high school academic competition and by estimating a production function for economic education. We find only limited differences between the education production function in urban and rural settings and lower average scores for rural students. To close this gap, results suggest that rural schools should place economic content in the senior-year curriculum and provide teachers with increased postgraduate training in economics.

What will be possible in the future to more informed and reasonably approach to the choice of methods and forms of conducting classes, sports. It will also provide information on the development of one or another physical qualities. On the basis of analysis of the questionnaire, to determine and scientifically substantiate which physical qualities are more prioritized, according to students, assessment of their own level of physical fitness and preference to sports. To determine the level of physical fitness of students, prioritizing, in their opinion, physical qualities and sports, on the basis of the analysis of the results of the questionnaire.

Among sports, students prefer the following types: ping-pong – 18,15%; volleyball – 13,5%; football – 12,8%; aerobics – 11.55%; martial arts – 10,05%; swimming – 8,2%; basketball – 6,55%; athletic gymnastics – 5,55%; Athletics – 5,2%; badminton – 3,05%; recreational gymnastics – 3,45%; handball – 1,95%. The results can be used in the formation of sports and recreation groups for sports. After the conducted scientific research, we were able to determine and scientifically substantiate: what physical qualities are more prioritized, according to students; provided an assessment of their own level of physical fitness; and identified the likes of sports.
