Development of methods for improving the physical performance and psychoemotional state of employees of the internal affairs bodies of Russia

Aim. The paper aims to find effective pharmacological treatments for improving the physical performance and psychoemotional state of employees of internal affairs bodies (IAB) when working in extreme conditions. Materials and methods. The authors investigated the effect of prophylaxis treatment with Acyzol, a carbon monoxide poisoning antidote, on the endurance and performance of IAB employees. Results. The authors performed several series of studies on the effect of Acyzol on physical performance in male volunteers aged 24-26 years. The authors investigated physical performance and the characteristics of the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and psychoemotional state under exercise in a pressure chamber (hypoxia) and in a standard smoke and heat training facility. The effect of Acyzol on physical performance was studied in conditions of reduced functionality. The effect of the course treatment of Acyzol on the functional state of the body was established. Conclusion. The use of Acyzol under exercise (hypoxia) contributes to high performance of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and central nervous systems. Prophylaxis treatment with Acyzol under exercise (hyperthermia) increases the resources of the cardiovascular system and external respiration, contributes to efficient energy metabolism, and optimizes some functions of the central nervous system. The course treatment of Acyzol provides a positive effect on physical performance, endurance, and resistance of the body to prolonged intense exercise that persists for several days.
