PHARMACEUTICAL PROVISION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR SUPPORTING WORKING CAPACITY OF MILITARY AND SECURITY SERVICES

Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to explore the effect of Trekrezan on working capacity, psychosomatic status, and hemodynamic parameters of military and security personnel, as well as the possibility to increase its psychological tolerance to stress. Materials and methods. 52 men participated in the study with the average age of 35.4 ± 6.6 years. The participants had been taking Trekrezan in tablets at a dose of 600 mg/day for 3 months. Duplex scanning of carotid and vertebral arteries was carried out according to the method of R. Barnes. Assessment of psychological and somatic status was carried out by the Hamilton test. Physical activity was tested by standard exercises (volunteer military service). Results. Trekrezan intake demonstrated a positive effect on anxiety and emotional stability and provided a significant increase in the maximum and average blood flow rates into common and internal carotid arteries. In 37.5% of 94.7% of men with thickening of the intima/media complex (IMT), IMT values demonstrated normalization after 3 months of taking the pills. Conclusion. Trekrezan significantly improves regional blood flow in the carotid artery system, has a positive effect on the psychosomatic status and improves life quality. Trekresan intake (600 mg / day per 3 months) increases working capacity of military and security personnel and can be recommended as a supplement that improves tolerance to physical activity.
