Abstract
Breathing, being a basic vital process, is in the closest interconnection and interdependence with all the systems of the human organism. Any violation of functions of the respiratory system is dangerous for the process of vital functioning of the organism on the whole. The aim of the study was to study the state of the students’ respiratory system. These tasks were set: 1) according to the parameters of external (lung) breathing, to study the state of the respiratory system of students aged 17–20 and to determine the correspondence of the results to the norms of a healthy person; 2) to study gender features of the functional capabilities of the cardiorespiratory system for hypoxic functional tests. The following methods were used: spirometry, functional tests of Stange, Genchi, Serkin, life-time value formulae and statistical analysis methods. A total of 150 students (75 girls and 75 young men, who constituted the main medical group) of the first-third years at the age of 17–20 (the students of South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushynsky and G. S. Skorina State University) were examined. This sample of the students was characterized by the absence of bad habits (smoking) or chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The results of the Serkin complex test showed that the students’ average breath retention time for inhalation at rest corresponds to the category of a healthy person. When dealing with female students, this indicator demonstrated the lower limit of the norm. The time of breath-holding after physical activities was reduced: the students’ average rate of the indicator corresponded to the category «healthy person», the female students demonstrated the assessment of «violation of the functional state». The third stage of the test shows that the data of the main group constituted by the male and female students correspond to the lower boundary of the category «healthy person». At the same time, 28,03 % of the female students under study have a respiratory system characterized by the category «impairment of the functional state». Our research has shown that the parameters of external breathing demonstrated by the majority of the students aged 17–20 correspond to the level of physiological norm of a healthy person. The analysis of the functional tests showed a wide range of individual capabilities of the respiratory system and students’ resistance to hypoxia. The integrated assessment of the functional reserves of the respiratory system of young men and girls can be used to optimize the educational process in higher educational institutions, including physical education.
