Abstract

The purpose of the research. To study the effectiveness of using the heart rate variability method to assess the body’s functional capabilities and adaptive changes in the process of readaptation of students with hypokinesia. Research methods. 120 students aged 18±0.3 years of the Uzhhorod National University and the Academician Stepan Demianchuk International University of Economics and Humanities participated in the research. Based on the medical examination protocols, the study participants were divided into 2 groups: physically healthy students and those with hypokinesia. The method of heart rate variability (HRV) was used to assess the functional state and the level of adaptive changes in the conditions of different models of physical education classes. The results. Based on the analysis of the results of the initial level of the autonomic balance indicator of HRV, it was established that the group of healthy students are normotonic according to the type of heart rhythm regulation (LF/HF=1.1±0.1). At the same time, in the group of participants with hypokinesia, the autonomic balance was shifted towards sympathetic regulation (LF/HF >1.0), so this contingent was classified as sympathotonic. The results revealed after the control testing proposed by us demonstrate an increase in vegetative balance by almost two times in the group of healthy students and a simultaneous decrease in its parameters by three times among those examined with hypokinesia compared to the values fixed before the load. Control over the dynamics of HRV parameters in the time and frequency domains, under the conditions of long-term use by students with hypokinesia of the physical education model proposed by us, clearly demonstrates the balance of the mechanisms of the vagus-sympathetic tone, which is manifested in the reduced values of LF/HF in a state of rest compared to results found at the beginning of the study. Conclusions. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of using heart rate variability indicators as informative markers for assessing the functional state of students with hypokinesia and monitoring the course of adaptive and compensatory reactions under conditions of acute stress and in the process of readapting their body reserves.
