The author was carried out large-scale researches of physical development of pupils of Ulyanovsk. Over 20 000 pupils from comprehensive schools took part in the research. The comparative analysis of separate parameters of physical development of pupils testifies that the process of acceleration, well appreciable in the middle of the current century, on a boundary of centuries has stopped.

The special alarm is caused with sharp decrease of some parameters, which, according to our opinion, in many respects is connected with the decrease of motor activity of pupils, deterioration of school physical education, an intensification of educational process and a low standard of well-being of the population of Ulyanovsk, which resulted to the decrease of quality of meals, deterioration of medical services.
