Abstract

The body shape, function and quality indexes of 618 Tajik students aged13~17 years from Tashkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang, China were examined by means of medical observation and documentary data. The three indexes of height, weight and chest circumference related to the body shape of tajik girls aged 13 to 17 and the data derived from these three indexes, such as weight/height and chest circumference/height, were analyzed statistically and compared with the relevant data of Kirgiz students. It is suggested that the consciousness education of medical physical exercise should be strengthened to make tajik female middle school students form the habit of lifelong medical physical exercise gradually. At the same time, specific suggestions were put forward to strengthen and improve the medical and physical education work in Tajik schools.
