Abstract
Chronic non-infectious diseases are the leading cause of premature death according to the WHO data. This review considers the evolution of studying and modern views of domestic and foreign authors on the role of skeletal muscles in maintaining health and preventing chronic non-infectious diseases. An idea regarding the nervous and reflex influence from the working muscles on both individual organs and the body as a whole is presented. The role of myokines, specific proteins produced by skeletal muscles, capable of influencing the state of many organs and systems, is described.
