METHOD FOR RECOVERY OF INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY FOLLOWING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STRESS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61M16/12 A61G10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, including to sports medicine, and aims at the recovery of individual's performance efficiency following maximum psychophysical loads. At first, individual's hypoxia sensitivity is determined at first by a 10-minute hypoxic test with measuring a heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) with an increment of min. once per two seconds. The test involves recording individual minimum SpO₂ (SpO₂ rain) and maximum heart rate. An excessive pressure of 0.03 MPa is generated in a pressure chamber; and an individual being tested breathes with a hypoxic-hyperoxic gas mixture heated to 40-80°C; the above mixture is mixed oxygen and helium. A session length makes 25-30 min; one session consists of 5-7 cycles each of which represents an interchange of the hyperbaric hypoxic test with the gas mixture with a volume ratio of oxygen 6% and the hyperbaric hyperoxic test with the gas mixture with a volume ratio of oxygen 30%. The hyperoxic test is conducted to achieve either minimum SpO₂, or maximum heart rate, according as which event occurs first. The hyperoxic test is conducted to achieve initial SpO₂ and heart rate. The number of daily sessions makes 8-10.

EFFECT: method enables recovering the individual performance efficiency after physical activity and psycho-emotional stress due to the hypoxic and hyperoxic tests with the heated oxygen-helium gas mixtures promoting the optimised body temperature and higher compensatory-adaptive body capabilities due to cyclic hypoxia and hyperoxia with the test length specified individually on the basis of biological feedback depending on the individual's fitness growth.
