Physiological and Hygienic Assessment of the Reserve Capacity of an Organism of Students Mastering the Profession of a Rescue Technician

INTRODUCTION: In the modern world where emergency situations can arise at any moment, professional training of rescuers is becoming especially relevant. Rescue technicians play one of key roles in providing safety and eliminating consequences of disasters. However, to successfully perform their duties, they not only need theoretical knowledge, but also a high level of physical fitness including the functional condition of an organism. AIM: To evaluate the parameters of the heart rhythm variability in students learning for the profession of a rescuer technician. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The object of the study were students of in their second-, third-, and fourth-year of the Ryazan State Budgetary Professional Educational Institution Hero of the Soviet Union N.N. Komarov Ryazan College. The NS-Psychotest, ProfExtreme software and hardware system (Neurosoft LLC, Russian Federation) was used for the examination. RESULTS: It was found in the study that in the course of the learning process, students experience increasing tension of their adaptation reserves, which, depending on the initial type of autonomic regulation, can become a risk factor for the development of health problems. CONCLUSION: Timely diagnosis of tension of the functional state of the students’ organism is a key factor in preventing failure of adaptation to increasingly complex study conditions and subsequent professional activity of a rescuer technician.
