Parameters of psychophysiological adaptation to the academic process at a faculty of physical training in students specializing in different sports

The features of psychophysiological adaptation to learning at a physical training institute were studied in students of the faculty of physical training who specialized in different sports. The character of adaptive reorganizations in students involved in cyclic sports reflected the correspondence of the type of functional constitution to the sport specialization. Adaptation to the academic process in students involved in acyclic sports or sport games was accompanied by autonomic regulation strain, which was attributed to the inadequacy of physical loads to the state of the body. The adaptive capabilities of the students of the faculty of physical training were shown to depend not only on the specific character of the academic process at the faculty but also on the correspondence of the individual typological features to the chosen specialization.Translated from Fiziologiya Cheloveka, Vol. 31, No. 1, 2005, pp. 77–81.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Kazin, Varich.
