Abstract

The authors present the results of studying the neuropsychic development of 100 children of the first year of life engaged in swimming and of 50 children of the same age not engaged in swimming. The neuropsychic development was appraised in accordance with the Tables given in the Methodological Recommendations worked out by the Gorky Research Institute in 1982. The swimming was found to cause a marked advance in the neuropsychic development of the children. That advance was discovered even after a month since the swimming onset. The development of movements and emotions was influenced first of all and to a greater degree. Later the swimming produced a favourable effect on the development of speech. The effect of the swimming on the neuropsychic development was more pronounced in boys than in girls.
