[Effect of various types of sports on the pulmonary rheogram of young school age children].

The pulmonary blood circulation of boys aged from 8 to 12 going in for swimming and wrestling has been studied by the rheographic method. It is found that the pulmonary rheogram of young sportsmen differs significantly from the one of non-sportsmen of the same age. The basic wave amplitude is larger, its elevation and fall angle is smaller, presystolic, systolic and diastolic parts are longer, rheographic systolic and diastolic indices as well as vascular wall elasticity index are higher, peripheral resistance of arterioles and cappilaries are lower in trained children.
