Physiological adequacy of mental work in students

Abstract

Physical and mental work requires energy from the body. The harder physical labor is, the more energy is required by the body, which is interpreted by changes in respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, etc. These parameters and indices are not always suitable for assessing mental performance. This is especially true for junior students (1-2 courses), who have not yet developed sufficient resistance to prolonged (10-12 hours a day) intense mental loading.
