[The methodological aspects of primary prevention in spinal osteochondrosis]. / Metodologicheskie aspekty pervichnoi profilaktiki osteokhondroza pozvonochnika.

The paper presents the conception of primary prophylaxis of a prevalent disease--spinal osteochondrosis. The conception rests primarily on the main spinal functions and implies training of nonspecific resistance mechanisms under the conditions of present-day mode of life.

[Efficacy of physical training and types of hemodynamics of essential hypertension patients and healthy subjects]. / Effektivnost' fizicheskikh trenirovok i tipy gemodinamiki u bol'nykh gipertonicheskoi bolezn'iu i zdorovykh lits.

Physical stress tolerance and the effect of swimming-pool exercise were examined in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and normal untrained subjects with respect to their hemodynamic types. Threshold load capacity at bicycle ergometry and the amount of swimming-pool exercise were lower in EH patients and normal individuals with hypokinetic circulation, as compared to other hemodynamic types. Insufficient dilatation of the precapillary channel during exercise may be implicated here. In patients with stable EH and hypokinetic hemodynamics, exercise should be less intensive.
