Adaptive capabilities of adolescents training working professions

Abstract

The authors evaluated influence of study conditions on adaptive resources of students mastering occupation of wood-processing machine operator (80 youths) and secretary-assistant (88 girls), aged 18 years, during practical training. The evaluation method covered regulatory adaptive resources by parameters of cardio-respiratory synchronism test with consideration of genetically determined types of higher nervous activity. The regulatory adaptive resources decreased by 65.3% in a group of less adapted students of wood-processing machine operator occupation, by 57,1% — in a group of the students with more adaptation. In the groups of secretary-assistant occupation the decrease was 29,2% and 20.5% respectively. The regulatory adaptive resources appeared to change in dependence on factors acting on the students during the practical training (maximal in wood-processing machine operators, minimal in secretary-assistants).
