ABSTRACT
The purpose of the investigation was to study the relationship between indicators of the bicycle ergometry test and temporary disability degree in males aged 40 to 59 residing in the area of 2 district outpatient clinics in Moscow. Disability (temporary, stable) was studied by a method of standard interviewing. The bicycle ergometry test was applied to each patient using a standard scheme. The investigation showed an inverse ration between physical exercise tolerance and disability degree.

Bicycle ergometry in 40-59 year-old male patients with coronary heart disease, identified during mass prophylactic examination on the basis of epidemiological criteria, has shown that in patients with angina pectoris of effort and no myocardial infarction in history positive exercise tests are observed in 20,8% of cases, while in patients with painless CHD forms positive results are observed in 15.4% of cases. Positive exercise tests are the most often in patients with daily anginal attacks and in those with ST depression and flat negative T waves.

The results of the screening and 1-year follow-up of pupils from two Moscow schools of general education (Moscow secondary schools) are presented. The program on preventive measures was conducted by using the playing forms of contact and influence, at one of the above schools (experimental school). Most of the adolescents of the experimental school (mean 80%) participated in the preventive measures. By the completion of the program the number of the participants increased up to 94%. A reliably significant increase in the education level on the problems about the adverse effects of smoking and beneficial effects of regular nutrition in adolescents of the experimental school was observed. The analysis of the results of the screening and follow-up of schoolchildren aged 12-13 years enables us to conclude that it is necessary to work out new criteria for the assessment of preventive measures among adolescents.
