Abstract:

Asthenic syndrome is the most important problem of the modern stage of development of human society, which is the most important component of many pathological conditions or risk factors for diseases.

The purpose of the study is to determine some physiological and psychological parameters in young people in dynamics at different levels of intellectual load and evaluate their role in the formation of asthenic syndrome.

Materials and Methods: The study involved 160 3rd year students of the Medical Institute of Moscow State University. N.P. Ogarev, divided into four groups according to the type of higher nervous activity (HNA), based on the indicators «Extraversion / Introversion» and «Neuroticism», determined by the Eysenck scale. We assessed the characteristics of emotional balance, functional parameters of autonomic regulation, features of cognitive functions in young people in different periods of training load.

Results: the indicator of neuroticism correlated with the severity of asthenic syndrome in young people. Persons with a high level of neuroticism more often revealed maladjustment of mental processes, a decrease in cognitive functions, and an increase in emotional instability during the period of intense intellectual loads. After a period of increased intellectual load, asthenia occurs significantly more often in females. Features of autonomic regulation have little effect on the development of asthenia. The exceptions were individuals with a high level of neuroticism. In these groups, the stress of hemodynamic mechanisms was occurred frequently.
