The Influence of Environmental Factors on the Cardiovascular System and Quality of Mastering the Profession

Abstract

Meteosensitivity determines the state of human health. It is reflected in all areas of activity. The cardiovascular system is one of the most sensitive to changes in environmental factors. Its form is considered as the most vulnerable element in professional adaptation. The study aims to determine whether the state of the cardiovascular system depends on abiotic environmental factors in healthy people during industrial training. Additionally, we tried to determine whether the state of the cardiovascular system influences the quality of developed professional skills. We examined 84 girls between 17 and 21 during 26 weeks of practical training in the first and second shifts. We recorded their blood pressure and heart rate, and also calculated the Kerdo vegetative index. We monitored such abiotic factors as air temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind direction, velocity, and air pressure. We also considered the day of the week, time of the day, date, daylight hours, and Wolf relative number. The data were subject to correlation analysis. The results demonstrate that the mean group values of blood circulation indicators in vocational school students correlate to adaptive biorhythms, solar activity, weather, and environmental factors. The state of the students’ cardiovascular system affects the quality of mastering professional skills.
