[Effect of geomagnetic activity on the functional status of the body].

A complicated nonlinear biological system should be in principal more sensitive to the external factors activity including geomagnetic disturbances. The complex of experimental studies based on this hypothesis were done simultaneously in two hospitals in Moscow as well as in condition of space orbital station, where just above-mentioned conditions are the case. This studies revealed that the reaction of astronauts to the geomagnetic storm involves a mobilization and activation of all centers of the sympathetic link, and as a result,--a significant increase and stabilization of pulse (heart rate), decrease of the heart rhythm variability and the power of respiratory waves.

[Cybernetic analysis of the heart rhythm in the measured physical loading test with crew members of the Saliut-6 orbital station].

The authors report on the study of the members of four lengthy expeditions on the orbital station "Saliut-6" in the exercise test with the bicycle ergometer at the station. The cybernetic analysis of the cardiac rhythm during its adaptation to weightlessness shows the definite changes of the controlling systems of the body. It is shown that the "cost" od adaptation to exercise is determined by the results of the cybernetic analysis of the cardiac rhythm.
