Abstract: Ruffier test and corresponding Ruffier index of resistance of a heart to an effort are rather popular in sports, physical education, rehabilitation etc. From the very beginning of the academic year 2009-2010, Ruffier test was introduced in Ukraine as a formal method of classification into the categories of a health status of 6-16 years old pupils. According to these categories, a program of physical education lessons was corrected. As a result of this, a great part of pupils (somewhere more than a half) appeared according to the program in the weakest (named ‘special’) group with a nominal (near zero) level of physical activity. Even some young sportsmen were “condemned†to a special group according to results of Ruffier test. Teachers of physical education, pupils, and parents need an explanation of the problem and a way of its solution. The aim of this research was to create a method of health assessment of 6-16 years old patients using Ruffier test.
