Formation of adequate psychophysical readiness for action in extreme situations

Abstract

As a result of the accelerated pace of development of the civilization, along with the positive results, it had negative consequences. The external (natural and social) environment and the internal (mental and physical) environment of modern man have changed. The strength of the influence of the factors of the environmental conditions, which are considered to be extreme, has increased. The complex of influences of the factors of the external and internal environment, which require active actions, is defined as extreme situations. The global factors influencing extreme situations are dangerous and difficult, and their integral functions are risk and effort, respectively. To overcome these situations it is necessary to form adequate situational psychophysical readiness. It is made up of physical and mental elements that are highly determined. The formation of adequate situational readiness is carried out through the application of certain methods of influence such as thought control, psychophysical relaxation, ideomotor modeling training, and others.
