The article identifies and analyses the state of adaptation of the participants of the tourist trip to the conditions of stay in the mountains. The functional reactions of the human body in mountain conditions are affected by a decrease in atmospheric pressure, atmospheric density, decrease in oxygen partial pressure, decrease in humidity, increased solar radiation, and low temperature. Adaptation to the highlands is largely determined by age and athletic skills. Tourists, especially those who came to the mountains for the first time, adapt to new conditions more slowly. A group of tourists made a mountain hike of the III category of complexity lasting 14 days. The travel area was near village Arkhyz. In preparing the route, the goal was to go through a sports route and to determine the impact of the highlands on the human body in practice. It is known that adaptation occurs faster for people who are regularly under conditions of artificial or natural hypoxia. Athletes, who often have endurance loads, can adapt to the conditions of the middle mountains and highlands faster than non-athletes. Also, the process of adaptation is much faster for people who make extensive use of intense physical activity. The article shows the dynamics of blood pressure and heart rate of a group of tourists in the highlands. The obtained data characterize the adaptive body reactions. After analysing the state of adaptation of the tourist trip participants to the mountain conditions, it can be argued that the period of adaptation of the participants' organisms to the height is different. It could be noticed, that on the eighth day the half of the group had "tension of adaptation mechanisms" and "unsatisfactory adaptation" of the organism to mountainous living conditions, also with the lack of stable adaptation. The rest of the group had better indicators of the state of adaptation on the fifth and sixth day of stay in the highlands. These indicators were characterised as "satisfactory adaptation" with further manifestations of sustainable adaptation, indicating economization of body functions.
Osteochondrosis incidence statistics worldwide indicates that more people suffer from this disease 80% of the population. And more than half of these people unaware of his pathological condition because of the disease is in a latent period of its development. Due to the frequent duration of the disease in therapeutic, as well as a variety of therapeutic options, the treatment of lumbar vertebrae is a special challenge. Today, lumbar osteochondrosis is considered a serious disease that occurs in people of all ages and has a steady tendency to youth, more and more often the disease is diagnosed in people under 20 years of age. The basic treatment and the most widespread diseases on an osteochondrosis on department of a backbone are listed. Yes, according to the data statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, already in 2001 osteochondrosis spine was 2.91% of disability in diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, and primary disability was 1.5 per 100 thousand population. Diagnosis and treatment of this severe form many scientific works are devoted to spinal lesions clinical, neurological and radiological orientation. The article analyzes the issue of the beneficial effects of physical therapy for patients with osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine. Osteochondrosis is a degenerative-dystrophic disease of the spinal discs of multifactorial origin, which subsequently provokes a change in the structure of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, limiting their natural functionality. The vertebrae become less durable and more prone to injury, and the intervertebral discs lose some of their elasticity. This disease is characterized by dystrophy in the intervertebral discs. As you know, disks are designed to provide flexibility and mobility to our spine. When the disc becomes flat, depleted, then the vertebrae converge, compressing the vessels and nerve roots. Hence arise pain and swelling. This condition is accompanied by metabolic disorders in the soft tissues surrounding the spine. As a result of osteochondrosis, the risk of injuries and the emergence of serious diseases of the spine, in particular, protrusions and hernias of the intervertebral discs, Schmorl's hernia, scoliosis and others. Despite the fact that there are a huge number of methods for the treatment and rehabilitation of osteochondrosis of the spine, the spread of the disease both in Ukraine and in the world is constantly growing. Currently, the problem of prevention and treatment of these patients is one of the leaders in traumatology. Treatment of osteochondrosis is mainly carried out using conservative methods, which are aimed at eliminating pain, dysfunction of the spinal roots and preventing the progression of degenerative changes in the structure of the spine. Comprehensive conservative therapy includes: a regime of reducing the physical load on the spine, prosthetic and orthopedic devices, physiotherapy procedures and drugs aimed at muscle relaxation, elimination of edema and pain, as well as reflexology. Therapeutic exercise and massage also play an important role in complex treatment.
