Evaluation of appropriateness of restoration period in professional activity in the case of physical and psychological and emotional stress in accordance with hormone status of the body

Abstract

According to some hormones, a comparative evaluation of adequacy of recovery period in three groups of persons with different adaptation to physical loads and their severity was done. The authors found indices of hormonal status were within normal physiological standard during common everyday activity (students of institutes of higher education); it provided evidence about adequacy of night sleep period for recovery of human organism. High physical and psychoemotional loads led to significant changes in hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (sportsmen and students of military schools). The different levels of physical loads caused features in dynamics of some hormones and their associations. In sportsmen during periods of training and competition, the recovery period was inadequate for normalization of hormonal status of human organism; it provided evidence about inadequacy of the loads. During period of adaptation to conditions of organized collective, young students of military schools unadapted to physical and psychoemotional loads had higher expression of stress signs than sportsmen; length of recovery period was also inadequate. The catabolic processes in human organism prevailed over anabolic ones. The inadequate recovery of human organism is a risk factor for functional status and may lead to onset of pathological states.
