Summary/Abstract: Adolescence, is a crucial period of physical development and growth. During this time, the body undergoes significant changes in composition, metabolism, hormones, and organ system maturation, as well as nutrient deposit establishment. These changes may impact future health. In terms of nutrition, adolescence is also a critical time for establishing a lifelong relationship with food, particularly with regards to the connection between diet, exercise, and body image. During adolescence, individuals face challenges related to time management due to school, training, work, and social commitments. Peers become increasingly influential in shaping an adolescent's behaviour, including their eating habits. Additionally, fluctuating emotions can also be a feature of this period. The aim of our paper is to scientifically demonstrate, through a research conducted over a period of one year, the influences that the use of physical education exercises, in conjunction with the administration of natural products (spirulina and safflower oil) has on the physical development of middle school students. By analyzing the obtained data, we try to determine the correlation between the independent variable and certain somatic and functional indices of physical development. In conclusion, using natural products has a visible and significant effect on the parameters of the Aeroscan measurements.
