Psycho-motility of a person in the context of its psychophysiological support and genetic determination

Abstract

Article is devoted to solving the actual problem of sports medicine and physical education under the concept of the psycho-physiological support and genetic determination of the person’s psycho-motility organization. The aim of the research was to provide a theoretical analysis of the psycho-physiological support and genetic determination of the person’s psychomotor peculiarities and to determine the students’ adaptability to physical loads. An individualized assessment of motility and psycho-motility abilities was implemented among 151 persons aged 17-19 (75 young men and 76 young women) according to the author’s program of a comprehensive examination of their psychophysical state using the NS PsychoTest system and employing valid methods of psycho-motility examination and functional capacity of the cardio-respiratory system. The leading factors that ensure human adaptation to physical loads were identified; they reflect the genetically determined basic properties of the individual’s nervous system. The study established the significance order of these factors, namely: "motor", "sensorimotor", "anthropometric", "excitation" (they cover 72,03% of the total dispersion). A criterial scoring analysis indicates that 11,2% of students have a high degree adaptability to physical loads, sufficient – 35,7%; insignificant – 40% of students; maladapted – 13,1%. It was found out that the mechanisms of psycho-physiological support and genetic control of the individual characteristics of the motility and psychomotility personal abilities should be investigated under genetic psychophysiology concept.
