SUMMÀRY:
The relevance of Article caused by deterioration in the health indicators of children over a pe-riod of schooling. The fatigue rising in children during the learning process is an indicator of adapta-tion to the training load.
The objective: to research of children fatigue changing during the school day, depending on the length of extracurricular static load.
Materials and methods. Children fatigue was studied on the dynamics in mental capacity changes using the procedure proofreading test. The 2224 proof-tests were analyzed. 358 primary school children in Kyiv have taken place in testing. To the static loads factors have been included the duration of homework, watching television and using the computer. We calculated the relative risk (RR).
Results. It was found that extracurricular static load exceeds the hygienic recommendations in 69,0% of primary school age children, and in a group of 1-2-form children – up to 86,4%. The risk of severe fatigue during the school day to 1,9 times (p<0,01) increased with increasing of extracurricu-lar static load. The risk of severe fatigue in children is increasing in 4.7 times in excess of the length of homework (p<0,001); in 1,6 times – in excess of Screen time (p<0,05).
