Abstract

Using indirect calorimetry, we examined 1632 young males aged 17 to 21 years, belonging to the Europeoid (Caucasian) race and residing permanently in the city of Magadan. Depending on the duration of adaptation to the conditions of the Northeast of Russia, all male subjects were divided into 3 groups of generation 1, 2 and 3 descendants and a group of newcomers (migrants or adaptants) residing in the Magadan Region for a short period of time (generation 0). It was established that in the lineage from generations 0 to 3 there occurred an optimization of the ventilatory characteristics of the external respiration apparatus aimed at cutting respiratory heat losses during adaptation to extreme conditions of the Northeast, i.e. a decrease in the tidal volume, tidal minute volume, and respiratory rate. Relevant rearrangements of the ventilatory pattern in subjects with a longer duration of residence under the same extreme conditions are paralleled by an improvement of oxygen transport and more efficient use of each respiratory cycle.
