FEATURES OF ADAPTATION OF THE LEADERS AND PARTICIPANTS OF WINTER SPORTS TREKS TO THEIR EXTREME CONDITIONS // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2015. Issue 6 (159). P. 257-262

The article deals with the adaptation of ski tourists to the extreme conditions of their activities. We give a systematic description of the extremal factors in the ski tourism and identify the four components of extreme factors: impact of environment, sportsman techniques, physiological and psychological factors. The results of involved physiological and psychological studies are obtained using four test methods: Genchi’s test, measuring heart rate, short-term memory test and the test of time metering. The tests results coincide with the intencity of loads on the route, which includes, basically changes in altitude. The individual characteristics of participants and leader’s reactions in the process of adaptation to extreme conditions of the route are defined. We generalize the four tests getting the overall dynamics of the process of adaptation of sportsmen in the highlands. By this data we range the sportsmen into the groups of “strong” and “weak” in the group.The leader received higher scores compared to the participants. Thus, the use of this complex method of assessment of ski tourists in a group allows us to observe and assess the dynamics of adaptation to extreme conditions.
