Abstract

The aim of the research is to discover how psychophysical self-regulation training influences person’s psychophysiological functions. The knowledge is essential to create psychophysiological safety. Two groups of university students consisting of young men aged 19-21 were studied. The first group (experimental group) included young men who had been regularly trained according to relaxation psychophysical regulation system for 1-2 years; the second group (control group) included students who did not practice psychophysical self-regulation. The relaxation program of psychophysical regulation (PPR) developed by Mrs. T. Popova is based on psychophysical exercises (PPE) aimed to teach learners to attain rapid and deep body relaxation, and to train self-regulation of emotions and behavior. Electroence-phalography, recording of psychomotor actions and heart performance, psychological testing of anxiety and psycho-emotional state were used to analyze psychophysiological functions. The research results showed that after psychophysical self-regulation there is a reduction in the heartbeat rate, blood pressure, anxiety, functional tension, as well as improvement of mood and general state, normalization of electroencephalography results, feeling of calmness and relaxation, and tolerance to a different opinion. All psychomotor parameters for the experimental group were higher than for the control group, which proves a beneficial influence of relaxation exercises on nerve functions. It has been concluded that it is prerequisite to train psychophysical self-regulation techniques to students as the fundamentals of psychophysiological safety and adequate social behavior.
