Prevention of hypodynamia and hypokinesia

Hypodinamy is a state of the human body that is characterized by a violation of the physiological functions of various systems of organs (primarily the musculoskeletal system) and a decrease in performance due to limitation of motor activity for a long time. Hypodinamy almost always accompanies hypokinesia (a decrease in the volume of motor activity, conditioned by the peculiarities of the lifestyle, the specificity of professional activity, the transfer of diseases requiring compliance with bed rest). Lack of the necessary level of motor activity leads to deterioration of human health and promotes the development of the hypodynamia syndrome.
Prevention of hypodynamia and hypokinesia is very important, because with insufficient motor activity, the person develops a decrease in the sharpness and speed of individual movements, a decrease in body weight due to a decrease in the mass and volume of muscle tissue. With hypodynamia and hypokinesia, transport of substances in muscle tissue is disrupted, unfavorable changes are noted at the intracellular and molecular level. There is a worsening of the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, brain, endocrine glands. Prevention of hypodynamia and hypokinesia should be carried out at various stages of human life. Compliance with these preventive measures has a positive impact on the processes of growth and development of children, even the first year of life. It is established that those children who exercise regularly and show sufficient motor activity, on average 1-2 cm above their other peers, have a slightly larger body weight (approximately 500 g). When performing the necessary volume of motor activity in order to prevent hypodynamia and hypokinesia, babies begin to walk for 1-2 months earlier and independently sit down. Physical exercises also change the overall health of babies for the better. In particular, such children are 2-3 times less likely to have colds and infectious diseases. Hypodynamics and hypokinesia in school age begins to manifest itself in the form of violation of posture, the appearance of excessive body weight, the appearance of abnormalities in the work of the musculoskeletal system. Prevention of sedentary lifestyle in schoolchildren through familiarization with physical culture allows to ensure the process of correct formation of the cardiovascular system, providing the necessary training of the heart muscle.

Hypodinamia and hypokinesia in the middle and old age provokes the acceleration of atherosclerosis, worsens the maintenance of the tone of the blood vessels, leads to a violation of the blood circulation of the brain. With reduced motor activity and lack of physical exertion, muscle weakness and laxity develops, stooping occurs, and the aging process accelerates. Prevention of hypodynamia and hypokinesia in the elderly can prevent the development of diseases such as hypertension, coronary insufficiency, myocardial infarction.

Modern living conditions have significantly reduced the share of physical labor in human life. However, everyday measures to prevent hypodynamia and hypokinesia, including the implementation of a complex of exercises morning exercises, physical work in the fresh air, attending sports sessions and fitness clubs ensures the maintenance of critical for human health physiological processes at the proper level.
