Ruffier's test and physical education lessons

The Ruthier test is a small test that gives an idea of the heart 's work . In general, this test is carried out on children of school age in order to determine their capabilities, as well as in which group in physical education they should be engaged. There have been cases of death of schoolchildren in physical education classes due to the fact that their heart was given too much pressure during the implementation of any standards. After such events, endurance of the heart system is determined not only in specialized sports schools, but also in general education. Rouffier's test gives results, usually recorded on an outpatient card. Based on the results of the test, a certificate is issued in which the group is recommended for physical education classes, as well as the restrictions on occupations. The Ruth test can also be conducted in school settings, but usually it is carried out in a polyclinic for children. Most children's polyclinics have a separate room for measuring Ruthier's test.

So what is Ruthier's test? This is a small test that can be completed in just three minutes. By and large, Ruthier's test is so simple that even a person who is not a pediatrician, for example, one of the child's parents, can conduct it. And the result will not be different from what the doctor would call.

Now more about the test Rufieu. Five minutes the child sits, doing nothing. After that, measure his pulse for 15 seconds (1 time). Then, at the doctor's request, the child performs thirty squats in 45 seconds. For the first 15 seconds, the pulse is counted again, followed by a minute rest (2 times). In the last 15 seconds of this minute, the pulse is counted again (3 times). Then it remains only to process the results by substituting them into Ruthier's formula. Formula Ruthier: (4х (1раз + 2раз + 3раз) -200): 10. That is, the number of heart beats is added (the middle of the formula), multiplying by 4, subtracting 200 and dividing the result by 10. Test Ruthier gives an opportunity to assess the health of the heart The patient. If the result is less than zero, then the heart of the athlete is athletic, well-trained. If the result fluctuates between 0.1 and 5, then this result corresponds to an evaluation of "excellent". Everything is wonderful with the heart, there are not any problems. From 5.1 to 10 - the result is good, there are no serious problems. If the result is more than 10,1, but less than 15 - then the heart works "satisfactorily" - there is an average degree of heart failure. If the result is more than 15 - then the patient has serious heart failure. However, above 20 results simply can not be.

If the test Roufieu showed the absence of any health problems, in this case the child is engaged in physical education, being in the main group. The guys take the standards for the full program, participate in crosses and all kinds of competitions.

Children with a minor deviation of health are not involved in the main group, they go into the preparatory group. These are children with some disorders of posture and those with an index that is less than necessary. Their occupation in physical education is based on the basic program, but they are exempt from special physical exertion. That is, where you need to pass a cross or participate in a complex competition, these guys can just relax, sitting on a bench. As a rule, if these children manage to overcome some health problems, they go to the preparatory group.

And the last group of children. The Ruthier index, as a rule, is unsatisfactory. In addition, they often have other problems with their health. Such children are not involved in the basic program, for them there is a separate program of physical education classes, which their not quite healthy organism can withstand.

It also happens that according to the results of the medical commission the child can be enrolled in the main group, but here the Ruthier index clearly shows that his heart can not endure such stresses. Then he will be engaged in a preparatory group or even in a special group, since the life and health of this student is more important than the surrender of standards and his participation in all sorts of competitions. Probably, already now more than one life of a schoolboy with a weak heart was saved thanks to the fact that his index Ruthier gave the concept of the work of his heart.
