METHODICAL ASPECTS OF FIRST YEAR CADETS’ ADAPTATION IN MILITARY UNIVERSITY

Issues related to adjusting to the educational process of physical training of cadets of the first course of the military medical academy are discussed. The relevance of the study of adaptive mechanisms of the organism of students-freshmen during the beginning of their training at the military university is proved. The need to increase physical activity for more successful adaptation of students-freshmen to study at the military university is proved. Studies of adaptation potential of students-freshmen, evaluated by the following methods: determination of adaptive capacity according to the method of R.M. Baevsky, evaluation of Robinson’s index or “double work” (for the purpose of quantitative characteristics of the systolic heart function), determination of the adaptation of the energy potential are presented. The estimation of these parameters is based on the study of functional possibilities of organism of students-freshmen, namely cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as on the account of height, weight and age of the subjects. The results of research of functional possibilities of organism of students, namely: heart rate reductions before and after exercise, systolic and diastoliction in blood pressure at rest and at the peak of training on the load are also presented. Adaptation possibilities of organism of freshmen students are considered with multidimensional testing.
