PROBLEMS OF TRANSMERIDIAN FLIGHTS

Abstract

The presented review of scientific literature is devoted to biomedical research on the problem of transmeridian flights, as well as to search of ways of rapid overcome of desynchronosis occurring across time zones. It has been established that desynchronization of circadian oscillations of physiological functions after transmeridian flights was inevitable, the degree of its negative impact on the human body depended on individual biorhythms and can be corrected by proper choices of vital activity regime in the former and new time zones. The need in further research in the sphere of development and assessment of biological activity of the tools contributing to human rapid adaptation to changing time zones has been shown. One of the areas of research is development of means of correction based on preparations (and their components) of natural origin for optimization of functional state of bodies of humans after transmeridian flights who are ready to carry out their professional tasks in the shortest possible time.
