METHODS FOR CORRECTING THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF MILITARY PERSONNEL IN A HOT HUMID CLIMATE

Abstract

Objective. Three modes of combined or pre-emptive thermal adaptation of millitary personnel in combination with physical activity are investigated. Materials and methods. The studies were carried out in the thermal baroque complex “Tabay”. To assess the degree of tension of thermoregulatory systems, we determined the dynamics of rectal temperature, the intensity of moisture loss, and the dynamics of heart rate (HR) in a state of relative rest during thermal exposure. Results. According to the effectiveness of urgent adaptation mechanisms, it is possible to differentiate people into certain types, characterized by different severity of adaptive properties and in connection with this implementation of a different adaptation strategy. Conclusion. High and prolonged physical activity in moisture- and vapor-insulating clothing in combination with a rational regime of fluid replenishment are recognized as an effective means of stimulating long-term adaptation reactions to high temperatures (bibliography: 8 refs).
