Background. An urgent task of age-related physiology is to study the functional state of the body of school-age children in cognitive activity due to the large academic load and the use of information and computer technologies in the educational process to identify the characteristics of the reactivity of the body of students when performing cognitive load of various types, including on electronic devices, is necessary for the organization of the school educational environment.The aim. To assess the nature of vegetative, cardiovascular and hormonal reactivity in cognitive load of various types in school-age children.Materials and methods. By methods of heart rate variability analysis, electrocardiography, tonometry and enzyme immunoassay of cortisol in saliva, 117 school-age children were examined while performing cognitive load of various types.Results. There is a change in heart rate variability indicators while performing cognitive load. Oral counting causes an increase in sympathetic influences on the heart rate with a decrease in parasympathetic activity, as well as a shift in the vagosympathetic balance. Operation on the electronic devices causes a decrease in the total power density of the spectrum and an increase in the index of low-frequency and highfrequency vibrations ratio due to a decrease in parasympathetic activity. Two types of reaction were revealed: type I – an increase in the concentration of cortisol in saliva, an increase in sympathetic effects on Heart rate with a simultaneous decrease in parasympathetic activity (counting), a decrease in the total power of the spectrum density (laptop), a decrease in parasympathetic activity (tablet). Type II – a decrease in hormone levels and a decrease in very low-frequency vibrations and parasympathetic activity, regardless of the type of load presentedConclusion. The results obtained indicate that the nature of the reactivity of heart rate indicators and the stress hormone cortisol in students depends not so much on which electronic device it is performed on, but on the type of cognitive load.
Проблема и цель. Адаптация организма подростков к изменяющимся условиям окружающей среды представляет один из важнейших вопросов возрастной физиологии. С целью выявления особенностей адаптации организма подростков проведено исследование реакции системы кровообращения, автономной нервной и эндокринной систем на нагрузки различного характера. Методология. Методами спектрального анализа вариабельности сердечного ритма, электрокардиографии, поликардиографии, биполярной реоэнцефалографии и иммуноферментного определения кортизола в слюне обследовано 200 детей 10-15-летнего возраста. *Раздел работы о реакции эндокринной системы на умственную нагрузку выполнен при частичной поддержке РФФИ (№ 15-06-0893а) Ермакова Ирина Владимировнакандидат биологических наук, старший научный сотрудник, лаборатория комплексных исследований процессов адаптации, Институт возрастной физиологии Российской академии образования.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
