title: [Stress and biological rhythms].
abstract: Numerous data give evidence that the reactions of the human body to diverse stimuli vary in an oscillatory, wave-like pattern. This phenomenon is associated with a general biological law of the wave-like pattern of adaptive processes, according to which they are realized at any stage (anxiety, resistance, depletion) in an oscillatory pattern. The wave-like pattern of the adaptive process is an expression of the dialectic law of unity and struggle of opposites; in this case, unity and struggle of construction and destruction, maintaining continuous self-reproduction and self-preservation of a living system in its environment. In order to improve the methods and procedures for sustaining man-in-space, further studies are required to investigate specific manifestations of this law.
