Objective of the study was to analyze the peculiarities of physical development and physical fitness of the 6-10 year-old football players and cyclists (BMX). Methods and structure of research. Proceeding from a comparative analysis of the morphological and functional indicators (body dimensions, muscle and fat mass, heart rate, blood pressure, VC) and the level of development of physical qualities (speed, coordination, strength, endurance, and flexibility) of the 6-10 year-old footballers with an experience of 8 months to 1.5 years (Moscow Football Academy, Sports School of Olympic Reserve, Lyubertsy) (n=113) and 6-10 year-old BMX cyclists with experience from 0.1 to 2 years (Sports School of Olympic Reserve, Saransk, Moscow) (n=100), it was shown that the peculiarities of physical development and physical fitness of young football players and cyclists (BMX ) of 6-10 years of age are due to the age-related patterns of development under the targeted positive influence of sports activities on the growth and development rates and physical fitness level. Results of the study. The authors detected the effects of the specific sport, which manifest themselves in the narrow-focused development of physical qualities, deviations in the mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular system, formation of body posture as a result of the lack of body conditioning and priority of technical training.
