Zusammenfassung

Background. The systematic self-control of students' health state allows optimizing the educational process organization of physical education and contribute improving the functioning of body systems. One of the common methods of such observation is the functional Martine's test, which provides an opportunity to investigate the dynamics of changes in blood pressure and heart rate between the resting state and every minute for five minutes after the load. In most cases, this load characteristic sufficiently fully reflects the student's cardiovascular system state. The determination of the characteristic patterns of such states will allow offering a mechanism for assessing the functional state of the circulatory system. The regular Martine's testing will allow observing the dynamics and evaluating changes in the body during the observation period. Objective. Creation of an automated system for assessing of a student’s circulatory system functional state changes. Methods. The students database of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” created during the research by the Department of Physical Education, was used for the study. To determine the functional patterns, separately for boys and girls, cluster analysis was used by the "k-means" method in the parameter space of the blood pressure and heart rate measured during the functional Martine's test. As a result, 7 clusters of states for young men and 8 clusters for girls were obtained. Clusters differ significantly in the nature of the response of blood pressure and heart rate to the load test. The centroids of the resulting clusters were further considered as functional patterns (the most typical representatives) of the body's response to the test physical load. The assessment of the circulatory system functional state is calculated by comparing the student test data with the previously defined functional patterns by the minimum Euclidean distance criterion. Conclusions about the functional state of the system are ...
