Abstract
The importance of basic psychophysiological components determining the efficiency of the sensorimotor performance of operators is considered. It is shown that the intensity and the difficulty of labor are conditioned not only by production conditions, but also by bioclimatic discomfort and bioclimatic contrasts of the environment. It is established that the bioclimatic discomfort of high altitudes (3800 m above sea level) lowers the potential of energy, sensory and effector components in the sensorimotor profile of operators; however, in subjects with high operational and functional qualities, the success of activity is ensured by optimal reorganization of functional connections between separate components and the specific character of realization of the activation component.
