Abstract

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato called movement as “salutary part of medicine”, while writer and historian Plutarch – as “storehouse of life”. Do we always apply efforts in order this “storehouse” be full? Today in the age of scientific-technological progress large-scale utilization of manual labour has been practically disappeared and there has been opened the door for the so called “diseases of the century”. The analysis of the results of students’ health and healthy life-style problems study has been presented in the article. The role of physical culture and of the department of physical culture in this process has been determined. The ways of university’s educational environments resources stirring up for this problem solution have been outlined. Many people try to fully protect themselves against physical activity. They think that the less physical activity the healthier they become. Many students try to make their physical activity less thereby breaking their health. In any ways they try to obtain health certificates in order not to attend physical culture lessons and practically in all cases they get moral support of parents and what is the worst of doctors.

Highlights

  • It is known that continuous mental stress and overwork without physical relaxation provoke hard functional disorders, degradation and approach of premature old age

  • Many foreign scientists [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] believe that special “mental gymnastics” helps to support high intellectual efficiency. Such gymnastics concerns the so called headstand. This exercise together with legs bending and extension in knee and hip joints intensifies brain cells blood supply, reinforces vessels but promotes venous blood outflow from lower extremity and pelvic organs, i.e. they are the important means of varicose, piles and lithonephria prevention

  • Healthy man should run minimum 15-20 minutes a day covering the distance of about 3-4 km

Summary

Introduction

It is known that continuous mental stress and overwork without physical relaxation provoke hard functional disorders, degradation and approach of premature old age. Adrenal glands release “hormone of good mood” in blood Taking this fact into consideration it is no wonder that, for example, in Switzerland in small towns situated in mountains where citizens can only move and run there registered no cases of cardiovascular diseases. Medical observations showed that regular run activity can influence the renovation of digestive cells, inhibit the process of muscular tissue substitution by adipose one and normalization of cholesterol amount in blood protect both atherosclerosis development and canceration. Under the influence of physical exercises blood supply of muscular tissue (including cardiac muscle) becomes better During physical activity it could open 2500 capillaries on 1 mm of muscle cross section against 30-80 ones in the state of rest. The urgency of the given research is becoming greater from year to year as it has tremendous importance in the development of world science and in improvement of peoples’ health
