FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining tolerance to pulse-type physical loading in teenagers by means of hand ergometer. Endurance and loading indices being equal to 69.6 + 3.13 s and 47.3 + 21.3 conditional units, respectively, are determined by squeezing the ergometer every second in pulsating mode until the pointer shows the level of 75% of maximum initial values. Tolerance indices dropping to 27.4 + 1.23 s and 13.2 + 0.59 conditional units, respectively, vegetative dysfunction diagnosis is to be set. EFFECT: high effectiveness, simplicity and objectivity of the method. 1 tbl
