SUMMÀRY:
The intense modernization of Ukrainian school system is accompanied by an active seal of studying programs and the annual increase in academic load, which leads to increased risk of patho-logical physiological processes.
We offered to carry the hygienic assessment of Lesson Schedules (LS) as one of the most im-portant process of academic planning and school rhythm regulating.
The LS evaluation was carried out by calculating the integral index, with developed scales rank of the difficulty of individual disciplines. The method of tests by Anfimov methodology was used to investigate the mental performance. To determine cause-effect link between LS`s and fatigue, in addition to performance in school time, indicators of the day regime were selected: the duration of homework, walking and sleeping.
The study has shown the significant variations in the academic load during the day and week. The greatest number of violations observed in the 5, 7, 9-th forms (Integrate ðarameter (IP)=0,426±0,03) (p<0,05). There is an insignificant deviation from the recommended hygienic indi-cators in elementary and high school (²Ð=0,568±0,04 and 0,633±0,09 – respectively).
The link between LS and the duration of the day regime components: walking (r=0,16; p<0,001), sleeping (r=0,25; p<0,001), as well as negative correlation between doing homework, walks duration (r=–0,11; p<0,01) and sleeping (r= –0,13; p<0,001) are established. At a low IP level of schedules the expectancy of doing homework increases in 2.1 times, time of walking reduces in 1,3 times.
When LS is drafted incorrectly the chance of having children with a strong and severe fatigue increases by 62,5% (p<0,001), when normaly by 51,0%, compared to the rational scheduling (p<0,001).
