psychophysiological harmony, higher education student, professional activityAbstract
The complexity of understanding psychophysiological harmony as a certain coherence of the body’s functional state, its physiological qualities and functions with the level of working ability is introduced in this paper. The need for effective use of the resources of higher education students in order to maintain health by creating optimal psychophysiological mode of development, training, and professional activity are highlighted in this paper. The ability of the individual to perform professional activities qualitatively due to the state of their health and inborn individual-typological properties is represented. Data of numerous investigations carried out by national researchers who studied psychophysiological characteristics, psychophysiological indicators of mental capacity, medical restrictions concerning certain professions and the health status of student youth training at higher education institutions in Ukraine are summarised in this paper. The authors of the article note that each type of professional activity puts forward very specific requirements for higher education student and emphasise the need to take into account psychophysiological qualities, characteristics, abilities, mental properties, individual and typological features of the nervous system, and the type of individual professional activity, which are necessary to perform professional functions since it is impossible to master them successfully without these features.
