The analysis of scientific and educational-methodical works which cover methods and means of restoration of physical working capacity of experts of various specialties is carried out. It was stated that the official activity of police officers involves significant physical and psychological stress. It is substantiated that a high level of physical performance is one of the conditions for quality performance of functional duties and contributes to less manifestation of the effects of fatigue. The specifics of physical activity in the conditions of police service necessitate the search for tools that contribute to the rapid and full recovery of physical performance of law enforcement officers. It is established that the quantitative manifestation of the level of physical fitness of the specialist is necessary for the assessment of the functional reserves of the organism during the organization of physical education of the population; in sports, during the selection, planning and forecasting of training loads of athletes; in adaptive physical education; to determine the motor mode of patients in clinics and rehabilitation centers; forecasting the course of diseases. The specifics of application of pedagogical, medico-biological and psychological means of restoration of physical working capacity of policemen are characterized. It is argued that in the conditions of professional training of police officers, pedagogical tools are key in optimizing the recovery processes, as they are based on the body's natural ability to self-healing. Medico-biological and psychological means of recovery are considered additional only if the rational construction of the educational process. These tools help to increase the body's resistance to stress, accelerate the reduction of acute manifestations of general and local fatigue, effective recovery of energy resources, accelerate adaptation processes. It is determined that restorative means should be used in accordance with the type and specifics of physical activity, taking into account the individual characteristics of the police officer. When choosing the means of recovery, a rational combination of means of general and local action becomes important.

The physical working capacity of a group of 36 blind or partially sighted and 44 deaf boys and girls in the age range 10–19 years was measured by the Sjöstrand PWC170 test. A comparison of the regression of PWC170 on both weight and age between the groups of blind and deaf children showed the inferior physical fitness of blind groups within a population where extraneous influences on the performance of both groups may be considered relatively stable. In addition, comparison of the working capacity of both groups with measurements made on groups of normal Canadian children, previously reported, revealed a surprisingly high level of performance by the deaf groups. Reasons for this competitive position are advanced.

The physical working capacity was determined for 243 California school children of both sexes, ranging in age from 6 to 14 years. Working capacity correlated well with the surface area, height, weight, 3-second vital capacity, total vital capacity and age. The 1-second vital capacity and the blood pressures gave relatively poor correlations. The surface area was selected as the variable to be compared with working capacity. Regression lines and 95% confidence bands were determined for each of the sexes. Boys possessed significantly greater working capacities than girls, even at the smaller surface area. Differences became quite marked in the older and larger boys as contrasted with girls of the same age or size. The working-capacity test has a number of advantages over other methods of evaluating physical fitness. It is objective and reproducible and is easily administered with few trained individuals. The results readily permit comparison of various groups and of healthy and diseased individuals.

Education Of Students

The aim of the article was to investigate interconnections between the components of physical fitness and the health level of students. The structure of physical fitness of young men and women was determined, considering the dynamics of their organism development, as well as a correlation of the factors that provide the base of the physical working capacity of future specialists by means of physical education. A systematic theoretical-methodological and empiric analysis of the physical education problems of students of special medical groups in higher educational institutions was conducted. We examined and studied the general patterns, which determine a planning of individual components of health-preserving technologies in the process of physical education of students of special medical groups. During a long pedagogical experiment, the effectiveness of the use of components of health-preserving technologies in the physical education of students of special medical groups was proved.  We identified the essence and a methodological base of implementing components of health-preserving technologies for correcting somatic health of students of abovementioned category. Usage of components of health-preserving technologies in the physical education of students of special medical groups under conditions of pedagogical experiment (aerobic exercises (mainly walking and running), as well as self-improvement training sessions, etc.), caused the increase of body's functional capabilities, and improvement of well-being.

There are about 466 million people with hearing impairments in the world. The scientific literature does not provide sufficient data on the actual nutrition and other variables of professional deaf athletes. The objectives of this study were to investigate and evaluate the body composition, the physical working capacity, the nutrition intake, and the blood parameters of iron and vitamin D in the Lithuanian high-performance deaf women’s basketball team players. The female athletes (n = 14) of the Lithuanian deaf basketball team aged 26.4 ± 4.5 years were recruited for an observational cross-sectional study. A 7-day food recall survey method was used to investigate their actual diet. The measurements of the body composition were performed using the BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) tetra-polar electrodes. In order to assess the cardiorespiratory and aerobic fitness levels of athletes, ergo-spirometry (on a cycle ergometer) was used to measure the peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and the physical working capacity at a heart rate of 170 beats per minute (PWC170). The athletes’ blood tests were taken to investigate the red blood cells, hemoglobin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ferritin, transferrin, iron concentrations, and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). The consideration of the VO2peak (55.9 ± 6.1 mL/min/kg of body weight, 95% CI: 51.8, 58.9) and the low VO2peak (56–60 mL/min/kg of body weight) (p = 0.966) in the deaf women’s basketball team players revealed no differences. For the deaf female athletes, the PWC170 was equal to 20.3 ± 2.0 kgm/min/kg of body weight and represented only the average aerobic fitness level. The carbohydrate and protein intakes (5.0 ± 1.3 and 1.3 ± 0.3 g/kg of body weight, respectively) met only the minimum levels recommended for athletes. The fat content of the diet (38.1 ± 4.1% of energy intake) exceeded the maximum recommended content (35% of energy intake) (p = 0.012). The mean blood serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and ferritin (24.1 ± 6.6 nmol/L and 11.0 ± 4.1 µg/L, respectively) predicted vitamin D and iron deficits in athletes. Female athletes had an increased risk of vitamin D and iron deficiencies. Regardless of iron deficiency in the body, the better cardiorespiratory fitness of the deaf female athletes was essentially correlated with the higher skeletal muscle mass (in terms of size) (r = 0.61, p = 0.023), the lower percentage of body fat mass (r = −0.53, p = 0.049), and the reduced intake of fat (r = −0.57, p = 0.040).

Triggering Factor

A follow-up study of 47 individuals with paroxysmal tachycardia in infancy is reported. The incidence of recurrence decreases from 55% during infancy to 17% up to 10 years of age; a slight increase to 23% is then observed in adolescence. There is a higher incidence of paroxysm in cases with preexcitation in the ECG. Physical overexertion may be a triggering factor in recurrences, but exemption from school physical education and sports should only be granted exceptionally. No signs of reduced physical working capacity were found in this group. The results of maintenance therapy do not appear to have improved in the past decade.
