This work is devoted to the study of the physical and physiological development of children aged 6-7 years old. in order to facilitate their adaptation to schooling – a problem faced by the children themselves, as well as by their parents and teachers. It is mentioned that children's adaptation
to schooling is a complex process, dependent on several subjective factors,
among which individual physical and physiological peculiarities, as well as
objective factors, notably the family and the social factors are the most
important. The results of the investigations of the indicators of the
cardiovascular system show that in the vast majority of children (68.75%) the
FCC indices are lower than the average values for the given age. These children have adapted to the requirements of the proposed activities during the initial schooling period. 31.25% of children demonstrated relatively higher indices compared to the average level, which indicates problems in adapting to schooling.
