Abstract
The results of the research specifying the dependence of primary school pupils’ mental performance (p=137) from the level of temporal blood pressure and ways of their optimization are represented in the article. Pupils of the second and third grades of Kyiv’s secondary schools had their temporal blood pressure tested on both sides before the beginning and at the end of their school study; the level of their mental performance was defined by means of V. Ya. Anfimov’s and A. G. Ivanov-Smolenskyi’s methods. The first series of the research was conducted without using any small forms of an active rest (physical jerks); the second one – within the school days when the pupils had physical jerks according to specially elaborated complexes of physical exercises. The research outcomes showed that the majority of the examined children had normal temporal blood pressure (on the left – 43,5 ± 0,41, on the right – 43,4 ± 0,47 mm of mercury column) before the beginning of their study (the first lesson). The children were registered to have a well defined strength and mobility of nervous processes com-bined with normal, adequate to their age, and high levels of mental performance. By the end of their school day there were noticed various types of reactions of temporal blood pressure: some children (56,2%) were registered to have its increase; the others (34,0%) – decrease; the third group (9,5%) – did not demonstrate any changes. Decrease of the temporal blood pressure indicators at the end of a school day in majority of cases was accompanied with a certain worsening of the children’s health, decrease in quantitative and qualitative characteristics of their mental performance, breach in the processes of higher nervous activity, which ascertains unfavourable reactions of the child’s organism, his / her mental exhaustion. On the contrary, increase of temporal blood pressure, which was noticed among the majority of the examined children, was accompanied with high results of mental work, optimal mobility of nervous processes, absence of complaints of headache, which allows us to consider this type of temporal blood pressure dynamics to be a normal physiological reaction on mental workload. The use of a complex of physical exercises (physical jerks) in the regime of a school day improves a state of cer-ebral hemodynamics, which facilitates an icrease of primary school pupils’ mental performance.
