title: [The effect of different regimes of motor activity on age-specific dynamics of the main functional systems of the organism].
abstract: The present study included 229 healthy men having different habitual patterns of daily locomotor activity. They were allocated to 4 groups encompassing subjects of different age. Group 1 consisted of medium-level athletes and subjects regularly engaged in physical exercises, group 2 included former high-level athletes continuing active physical training, group 3 was comprised of former high-level athletes living a sedentary life style, and group 4 included subjects who were never engaged in physical exercises. All the participants of the study were examined using an AMSAT-COVERT automated diagnostic system designed for rapid topical evaluation of the human functional state. The results of the study indicate that the regime of daily locomotor activity and previous experience with physical training have marked effect on the age-specific dynamics of the main functional systems of the organism. Continuation of physical activity in former athletes permits them to preserve a higher functional status of the main functional systems of the organism compared with former high-level athletes living a sedentary life style and subject who were never engaged in physical exercises.
