ASSESSMENT OF FLUID LOSS BY SERVICEMEN OF 35 YEARS UNDER EXERTION AND METHODS FOR REPLENISHING IT DURING EXERCISE AND DURING RECOVERY

For a number of military specialties, frequent physical activities, during which the body loses a large amount of water and ions, are important aspects of the daily activities of military personnel. To maintain homeostasis during intense physical exertion, a complete replenishment of the physiological losses of the body is required. According to the results of the study, it was found that depending on the performed loads, climatic conditions, etc., the human body needs a different amount of water and ions. At rest, at an air temperature of 27 ° C, 3 liters of water is enough. On average, military personnel should consume ≈ 4.3 liters of water, with increasing loads, this figure increases. One of the important tasks of the medical service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to ensure the life safety of military personnel in performing various tasks, including during physical training, as well as in the performance of daily and combat missions. To maintain a normal state, water consumption standards were developed for military personnel of older age groups. The implementation of these standards is often difficult, therefore, modern means have been developed to replenish water and ions as isotonic drinks. In this article, we present the results of a study of fluid loss in an experimental group consisting of 10 military officers of the 3rd and 4th age groups of the Military Medical Academy, and also consider the methodology for replenishing water and ions during and after physical exertion.
