Abstract

The article gives theoretical grounds and experimental confirmation of the possibility to resist severe climatic conditions of the Far North with the help of a focused and structured activity of a person aimed at developing his own self-regulatory mechanisms and improvement of adaptation capabilities. The experimental study has found noteworthy positive changes of certain indices of psychophysiological state of a person after a long-term shaping exposure at three basic levels – physiological, psychophysiological, and psychic. These findings suggest that there are methods and techniques contributing to improving adaptation capacity and vitality of a person, and thus helping residents of the Far North resist severe extreme natural conditions.
