The relationship of resilience and physiological properties of cadets in training conditions

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need of increasing the efficiency of cadets' professional activities in emergency situations and the preservation of their health. This article presents the results of empirical research of the relationship between resilience components and psychophysiological parameters of cadets after training in smoke and heat training facilities. The sample consists of 45 cadets of EMERCOM of Russia aged from 19 to 21. We used the following methodology: test of life-meaningful orientations by D.A. Leontiev; test of viability by D.A. Leontiev and E.I. Rasskazova; to study the characteristics of attention we used correction tables (Landolt rings), Munsterberg's test; the study of indicators of the electrocardiogram (ECG) using the software "analysis of the cardiac rhythm," the complex of rehabilitation psychophysiological training with biofeedback "REACOR"; evaluation of the functional state of the CNS on the basis of complex visual motor response using the device of psychophysiological testing UPFT-1/30 - "Psychophysiologist". The results of the study demonstrated that there are differences in the manifestation of physiological parameters after exercise in smoke and heat training facilities depending on the level of cadets' resilience. The students with low level of resilience demonstrate the decrease of tension, the predominance of the parasympathetic nervous system, expressed passivity in the implementation of tactical and technical actions. Cadets with a high level of resilience have significant depletion of regulatory systems after training, due to the high measure of responsibility and mobilization by strain to the nervous system, the use of functional reserves. Quantitative analysis showed that there are relationship between the component of resilience is "the process of life" and an indicator of the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system "LF/HF" (0.301* where p<0.05) and also between "purpose in life", "process in life", "locus of control", "sense of life", "control" and the level of stability of reactions (0,532 where p<0.01), and RMS reactions (- 0,452 where p<0,05) time and the maximum time in the implementation of visual-motor reaction (- 0,433 where p<0,05). The results of the study allow us speaking about the necessity of psychological work with cadets with both low and high levels of resilience. Psychological work with students with a low level of resilience should be aimed at the study of value-semantic sphere of the personality and motivation to professional activities. The main direction of psychological work with students with a high level of resilience is learning the techniques and methods of psychological self-control to manage their psychological state in future professional activity.
