Introduction. The article examines the effectiveness of health-oriented running in patients with neurocirculatory asthenia. The study was conducted among individuals aged 40–60 years who underwent rehabilitation according to a standard program and a program supplemented with health-oriented running. The dynamics of physical activity, cardiovascular and autonomic regulation indicators, blood pressure, heart rate, and functional endurance were assessed. The obtained results demonstrated a positive effect of regular health-oriented running on functional status and overall well-being of the patients.
The aim of the study – to assess the effect of health-oriented running on physical activity, functional status, and autonomic regulation indicators in patients with neurocirculatory asthenia.
The main part. The main part of the article describes in detail the organization and methods of the study involving patients with neurocirculatory asthenia. The characteristics of the control and main groups are presented, as well as the features of the rehabilitation program including health-oriented running. The results of the analysis of physical activity level, exercise tolerance, heart rate, blood pressure, and heart rate variability are presented. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of changes in autonomic balance according to the A. V. Veyn scale. The results are presented as quantitative indicators with specified percentage changes and statistical significance. A comparative analysis of the obtained data between the groups is carried out and scientifically substantiated in the context of modern rehabilitation approaches.
Conclusions. Health-oriented running is an effective non-pharmacological method of rehabilitation for patients with neurocirculatory asthenia. Its application provides a statistically significant improvement in physical activity, cardiovascular function, and autonomic regulation. The obtained results confirm the feasibility of including health-oriented running in comprehensive medical rehabilitation programs.
