RESUMO
The article describes changes in heart rhythm variability (HRV) as a response to equal complex physical factors (hyperthermia of 60 degrees C with low relative humidity of 8 to 15%, air ionization, thalasso, and relaxing music). The subjects of the study were 28 individuals having no verified chronic diseases, who underwent a course of five recovery procedures using exposure to a complex of weak physical factors realized in Ionic House technology (Japan). The study found that changes in heart functioning as a response to equal physical factors depended on the initial vegetative system tone. Patients with normotonic and sympathicotonic heart regulation displayed the activation of parasympathetic vegetative nervous system as a result of a single exposure to a complex of physical factors, whereas in vagotonic patients sympathetic heart regulation was activated under the same conditions.
