The study rates and analyzes the schoolchildren’s physical development in the Ulyanovsk and Ivanovo Oblasts and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) based on the key motor qualities rating tests. Schoolchildren (n= 16,000) from the Ulyanovsk Oblast (5918 girls and 6099 boys), Ivanovo Oblast (1822 girls and 1724 boys) and Sakha Republic (Yakutia) (452 girls and 268 boys) were sampled for the study purposes. Two of the selected regions were similar (Ulyanovsk and Ivanovo Oblasts) and one (Sakha Republic (Yakutia)) different in the key factors of influence on the physical qualities development process. The tests found the strength qualities widely varying across the regions due to a variety of factors including ethnic and geographic ones, with these factors further recommended being taken into consideration by the physical development test programs. As demonstrated by the study, the physical development tests need to be customized and standardized for the regional specifics.

Keywords: motor qualities; development dynamics; schoolchildren; regions of the Russian Federation.
