ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ORGANISM UDC : 796 . 012

The ISOTON health-recreational programme of exercising was established in 1992 pursuing scientific theoretical premises but it was also proven in a long term practice. When devising basic principles of the ISOTON one used computer modelling of physiological systems and biomechanical processes in body as well as a wider scope of physical influences on the human body. To solve the tasks set in the paper within the general inductive-deductive approach to the researched material one used also general scientific methods of observation, description, comparison, generalizing scientific and methodics literature of the local and international authors. Based on the description a descriptive-explicative analysis was applied. Factors of health effect of the ISOTON are the following: Isotonic exercising creating the state of managed stress representing efficient way of the increase in functional abilities of cell structures that enhance level and state of health; Selection of exercises, movement patterns and pose provide for physiological, mechanical and reflective influence on the internal organs and main nervous centers connected to them; Muscle work in ISOTON contributes to the increase in the concentration of CO2 in blood stream; It exerts controlling influence on the processes of exchange and provides for the maximal level of fat burning stimulating mechanisms thus enabling decrease of fat in the body.ISOTON uses natural and versatile means of influences on the body. This diminishes to a great extent the possible creation of various misbalances and disturbances that might appear under the local influence of other means (especially pharmacological).
