Established direct correlation with the main motor activity exchange (r = 0,81); body weight (r = 0,80); circumference of the chest in the pause / inspiratory / expiratory (r = 0,70-0,71); vital capacity (r = 0,37); hand muscular strength (r = 0,51-0,58). The estimation of the physical development of children by Quetelet index: mass deficit is set at 12.96%, 29.63% obese, normal physical development at 51.85% overweight at 5.56%. Conclusions: The recommended value of physical activity as a criterion for recreation and health of school children.
