The high level of mental and physical training loads on the body of students requires a good development of adaptive-compensatory mechanisms, stress resistance, psychological endurance. On the other hand, modern research indicates the low level of health of students and their maladaptation to high levels of stress, which determines the relevance of the study of changes in the functioning of the cardiovascular system to develop measures to correct adverse conditions and improve physical and mental health. The purpose of the work was to determine the features of changes in heart rate variability of students under the influence of mental and physical activity, taking into account gender characteristics. Material and methods. The article presents the results of a study of heart rate variability of 128 students (65 male and 63 female) of the Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University aged 17-25 years. All students had indicators of variability of resting heart rate, after mental and physical activity on short recordings of the cardio signal (2 minutes), obtained with the help of rhythm "MPFI rhythmograph-1" and EasyHRV software (LLC "ASTER-IT", Kharkiv). We used the proofreading method by Kryvonosov M. V. et al. (2001), which consisted of finding and selecting a specific letter in test tables for 20-25 minutes. Aerobic exercise consisted of running a distance of 2000 m on a rowing machine Concept-2 for 10 minutes. The research results were processed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric criteria. Results and discussion. The results of research showed that at rest almost all statistical and temporal indicators of heart rate variability of boys and girls were within the age norms. Mental load did not lead to a significant deterioration of the indicators studied, which indicated the stereotype of reaction. Exercises led to a significant deterioration in the cardiovascular system of students, as evidenced by a significant decrease relative to the lower limit of the norm of SDNN and RMSSD (almost four times); increase in the index of autonomic balance (above the upper limit of the norm by 90% for boys and 71% for girls); exceeding the upper limit of the norm twice with the indicators of vegetative rhythm and regulatory processes adequacy; an increase in the stress index of boys by 7 times and more than 5 times for girls, which led to exceeding the upper limit of the norm by more than 4-5 times; reduction of the total power of the cardio signal spectrum in boys by 9 times, and by 8 times in girls; power of the spectrum of very low frequencies twice, low frequencies by 5-8 times, high frequencies by 6-11 times. Conclusion. Low energy spectral parameters, as well as reducing the variability of cardio intervals and increasing the stress index are manifestations of hyperadaptive response to exercise and indicate low adaptive capacity of students, which requires the introduction of rehabilitation activities
The process of students’ adaptation should be considered as a dynamic and integrated process of forming the necessary skills to meet the needs that arise during study at a higher education institution. The purpose of the study was to establish the nature of psychophysiological indicators of students with different types of autonomic regulation in conditions of physical and mental activity. Materials and methods. The article presents the results of a study of the psychophysiological indicators of 128 students (65 boys and 63 girls) of the Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University aged 17-25 years. All students had psychophysiological indicators before and after mental and physical activity measured with the device for psychophysiological research «PFI-2». The students were divided into groups according to the types of vegetative regulation, according to the method of express assessment of the functional state of regulatory systems according to N. I. Shlyk. All students had indicators of heart rate variability at rest on short recordings of the cardiac signal (2 minutes), obtained with the help of the rhythm «MPFI-rhythmograph-1». Proofreading method according to the method of M. V. Krivonosov et al. (2001) was used as a mental load, which consisted of finding and selecting a specific letter in test tables for 20-25 minutes. Aerobic exercise consisted of taking a distance of 2 km on a rowing machine Concept-2 for 10 minutes. Results and discussion. The obtained results showed that after the mental load, the psychophysiological indicators of students of all groups did not change reliably, which led to the formation of adaptation mechanisms. However, only the students of group 3 have grouped reliable changes in some indicators of the correct sample, which reflects the state of development of mobilization. After physical exertion, changes in individual and typological indicators were observed in representatives of groups 1 and 3. A significant decrease in the indicators of functional mobility of nervous processes and the strength of nervous processes indicates the mobilization of the body's reserves. The value of the dynamics of nervous processes in group 1 significantly increased after physical exertion, which indicates the development of a state of fatigue. There was also a significant increase in the number of anticipated/delayed reactions in group 3, which indicates the predominance of excitation processes over inhibition. After physical exertion, no significant changes in psychodynamic parameters were observed, but in group 2, the time of the complex simple visual-motor reaction significantly increased, which indicates the development of a state of fatigue. After physical exercise, the students of group 3 have observed significant changes in the values of the correction test indicators, which indicates the mobilization of the body's reserves. Conclusion. The analysis of the results of the study made it possible to establish that the mental load had an insignificant effect on the representatives of group 3. After physical exertion, significant changes were observed in representatives of all groups, except for group 4
Modern education in universities causes significant stress in students and strains the functional systems of their bodies.Analysis of scientific literature over the last few years convincingly shows that here has been a trend of worsening health among youth in many countries around the world. The issue of the health of students in higher education institutions in Ukraine is particularly acute. Firstly, this is directly related to the learning process itself, which is an extremely responsible and stressful period in the lives of modern young people, for the successful realization of which good somatic (physical) health is necessary. Secondly, this problem is related to deteriorating political, ecological, and economic conditions in Ukraine, as well as with unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. The causes of the worsening health of students can also be attributed to a low level of motivation for a healthy lifestyle and health culture among young people, which is associated with a lack of parental upbringing, namely, a lack of understanding from early childhood of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the formation of a stable motivation for sports activities.It should be noted that an important role in the adaptation process during stressful situations is played by a personality trait such as resilience. In case of insufficient vitality in young people, apathy, reduced efficiency or a state of high tension can be observed.In particular, during teaching, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of each student, as well as the peculiarities of their mental Журнал «Перспективи та інновації науки» (Серія «Педагогіка», Серія «Психологія», Серія «Медицина») № 10(28) 2023 678 processes and states. Individuals with different individual typological properties of higher nervous activity (HNA) differ not only in the reactivity of the cardiovascular system, formation of the initial psychological background, but also in the activation of mechanisms for regulating heart rhythm.
