Regular mental exercises are currently considered an important component of the rehabilitation of various categories of patients with organic brain disorders. The study was carried out with the help of the Russian Internet portal "Chess Planet", which makes it possible to obtain information about persons with disabilities in the course of their sports training. The study involved 28 people with cerebral palsy at the age of 19-27, out of whom 25 were at the stage of sports specialization and 3 people were at the stage of improving sports skills. The study was carried out using the testing method and the method of statistical processing. After analyzing the data obtained, we can talk about the positive influence of the process of mastering the chess game on the psychophysical status of young people with cerebral palsy. This kind of sport increased the level of their sports training, their resistance to stress and steadily improved the general psychosomatic state. Even taking into account the developing decrease in the values of the considered indicators at the control stage of the study, the subjects had an increase of 13.7% in comparison with the preliminary stage of the study.

A prominent place among the hematological parameters is occupied by the parameters of erythrocytes. They affect the processes of microcirculation, gas exchange, and metabolism. In this regard, it is of great interest to study changes in erythrocyte parameters in students who previously had low physical activity and started regular sports walking. The study was conducted on 39 young university students who had not previously played sports and experienced low physical activity during their lives. All of them started regular race walking workouts 4 times during the week. The control group consisted of 35 young male students who, for at least 4 years, systematically engaged in race walking at least 4 times a week. For the study, standard hematological, biochemical, and statistical methods of obtaining information were used. After 6 months of sports walking in the blood of previously low-trained young men, there was a normalization of the levels of arachidonic acid derivatives, a decrease in the content of cholesterol, and lipid peroxidation products in the membranes of erythrocytes, and an increase in the content of phospholipids in them. This was accompanied by an increase in the number of erythrocytes with a normal shape in the blood of those who began to engage in race walking and a decrease in the content of erythrocytes with a changed shape in it. The beginning of race walking after low physical activity is very useful in adolescence for the parameters that are significant for the implementation of blood circulation in the capillaries.
