Over 1000 practically healthy adults and patients with myocardial infarction, rheumatic fever and bronchial asthma were examined with the use of original pneumothermocalorimetric equipment. Based on the statistical treatment data the principle of standardization and due parameters of the conditioning function of the external respiratory apparatus were developed as were grades and etiopathogenetic characteristics of this function states, physiological and conventional standards, and three stages of insufficiency.

The experiments carried out on 129 athletes (gymnasts, weight-lifters and boxers) and 153 non-athletes have shown that sports training increases substantially the general and specific physical performance and elevates 2-2.5-fold the human resistance to thermal effects. The relationship between the signs of physical fitness of sportsmen and the values of their thermal resistance has been established. The procedure and scale of evaluating the thermal resistance of man have been developed.
