| Abstract: | Hormonal effects on the functional status and working capacity were found in girls with juvenile dysfunctional uterine hemorrhage who had been exposed to ionizing radiation in early childhood, in those with primary hyperthyroidism and healthy athletic girls in different phases of a menstrual cycle. Whether the hormonal status might be corrected by interval hypoxic training was examined. There was a relationship of respiratory functional changes to the phases of a menstrual cycle in healthy girls. Impaired external respiratory function, blood flow, and blood respiratory function, lower oxygen consumption were found in girls who had been victims of the Chernobyl accident and respiratory functional changes were detected in patients with hypothyroidism. It was ascertained that interval hypoxic training was an effective alternative to mountain training, that it promoted higher aerobic and anaerobic productivity and special working capacity in athletes. An interval hypoxic training course was found to substantially improve oxygen regimens in girls with secondary anemia, to elevate hemoglobin levels to normal values, to recover normal ovarian function. It also enhanced the production of thyroid hormones, normalized oxygen consumption, improved the patients' condition, increased physical and mental performance in patients with hypothyroidism. |
