MEDICAL-GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES OF THE TERRITORIES OF THE FAR NORTH AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE PROCESSES OF ATHLETES

A physiological and hygienic assessment of the adaptation process to the conditions of the Far North, an analysis of scientific data on the problem of acclimatization to cold exposure, an insufficient level of insolation in the winter, a deficiency of macro- and micronutrients in the diet of athletes were carried out. An analysis of the incidence. An assessment is given of promising methods of correction of the adaptation process. Proposals have been developed for optimizing nutrition and preventing the diseases of athletes. The following diseases are found: 1) Tick-borne encephalitis 2) Within the zones of tundra, taiga, with the exception of Kamchatka and Chukotka, natural foci of tularemia were recorded. 3) Brucellosis diseases are sporadically recorded. 4) Anthrax, tetanus, botulism are rare. Parasitic diseases are represented mainly by helminthic invasions. Nutrition in the North requires scientific justification and correction of physiological norms of food substances, taking into account the specifics of the Arctic, as well as the characteristics of the adaptation of the body of athletes. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the monitoring data of environmental factors and their impact on the functional capabilities of the human body.
