Abstract

The time required for adaptation, as judged by the indices of the cardiovascular system, has been investigated in Tyvan on Russian students of an institution of higher education. It has been shown that adaptation to the academic load is influenced by not only age-specific, but also the ethnic characteristics of the students living in extreme climatic and geographical conditions. First- and second-year students of indigenous ethnic groups have lower functional indices of the cardiovascular system as compared with Russians, and adequate adaptive reactions in response to studying are formed during the final years of education.
