Performance and Health in Cold Climate
One of the basic criteria influencing the state of human health in conditions of curcumpolar climate is low temperatures (hypothermia), low moisture content (hypoaquatemia) in the atmosphere and hypodynamia. If low moisture content is a positive factor, then hypothermia and hypodynamia have a negative influence on the paravertebral zone physiology. At occurrence of hypothermia, the basic way of treatment is warming the patient with external or internal heat. The most effective one is using the internal heat evolved due to increasing of the patient's motion activity. Unfortunately, when internal heat is used, the part of the body that suffers most is the paravertebral zone. The use of dry external heat sharply increases the heart load, and at the use of the bath (hyperaquatemia) the spine suffers. For comfortable treatment of the patient at combination of hypothermia and hypodynamia we applied the method of autokinesitherapy at complexes of CSMD (complex of spine massage devices) series, allowing to avoid hyperaquatemia conditions and reduce the heart load at increased motion activity. At that, the patient’s warming up occurs due to both muscular work, and due to friction heat, when the skin and hypodermic layers are warmed up to 40 0Ñ in paravertebral zone, that causes not only the increase of blood and lymph flow, but also the increase of liquor flow. It allows to restore normal work of both the internals and the paravertebral zone of the patient. The results of the researches carried out have shown the treatment to be efficient in 95 % of the cases.
