STUDY Of FACTORS NORMALIZING POST-STRESS BODY STATE

Abstract

Any human activity is associated with stress. There may not be any, only if you do nothing. In recent years, stress level has increased significantly due to the constant life and work growing tension as well as their intellectual component. During periods of stress, blood pressure rises sharply, blood vessels constrict and stress hormones (adrenaline, cortisol) enter the bloodstream in large quantities. All these are defensive mechanisms in the body to some environmental stimuli. Due to these actions, the body mobilizes and resists these external factors. If such stress periods happen regularly, and no neutralization of this condition occurs, then a layering of negative effects on the body and a cardiovascular or nervous diseases are possible, as well as premature death. After a stress period it is necessary to bring the body to a normal calm state, i.e. neutralize stress effects. Experts offer a large number of different tools and methods to solve this problem, mainly of a psychological and social orientation. However, life and practical experience show that the most effective mean of dealing with stress effects is physical activity, which relieves inner tension and brings the body into a normal functional state. The authors are deeply convinced that this is the best solution to the stress management problem, which should go hand in hand with psychological and social methods, activating and enhancing each other. The implementation of this recommendation requires engaging in physical exercise and maintaining optimal levels of physical and functional efficiency.
