Studying the indicator of the degree of activity of regulatory systems in university students (based on the example of the indicator of the degree of centralization of management of central levels of regulation)

This paper examines the degree of centralization of management in the context of regulatory activity, which plays an important role in human life. The aim of the work is to identify patterns and changes in the distribution of activity indicators of regulatory systems, in particular, the degree of centralization of management between the studied groups. The method of variational heart rate monitoring, developed by the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, was used to assess the activity of regulatory systems. The study involved two groups: a control group and a group of humanities students, who were assigned based on gender and course of study. The total number of respondents was 235 students. The age indicators, taking into account the course of study, were: for 1st year – (18.3 ± 2.1) years; for the 3rd course – (20.5 ± 1.9) years; for the 6th year – (23.8 ± 2.2) years, respectively, 1, 2, 3 age gradations. Data analysis showed that the most common indicators were a gradual and sharp decrease in regulatory activity, typical for 37.98 and 37.43 %, respectively. At the same time, a sharp decrease in regulatory activity is most pronounced in the group of 1st-year students. The distribution of participants by gender showed that men are most characterized by a moderate decrease in regulatory activity, while women experience a sharp decrease in this indicator, which occurs in 36.95 and 43.68 %, respectively. A comparison of the two groups of study participants showed that normal regulatory activity was 3.16 % more common in the control group than in the student group. The conducted research has shown that it is necessary to study and review approaches to managing and supporting students in the learning process.
