This work presents the chronological analysis of literary materials about the effects of movement activity and physical factors on the dynamics of physiological processes at critical stages of the organism development and the actual aspects. The level of development and adaptive properties of iving organisms have been shown to relate directly to interaction with environmental factors, as well as with individual level of movements. Restriction of motor activity afects the dynamics of the functioning of organs and systems, depending on the degree of stress, the duration of action and the stage of development of the organism.
