Any medical recovery process is effective when it is built on a rational motor regime, providing for the optimal use of various forms of patient activity during the day.
What are the modes?
If we are talking about a medical institution, we should distinguish between a hospital - there the regime can be bed (which, in turn, exists in the form of a strict and lightweight) and semi-bed (it can be ward or free), and a medical institution of a different type. The latter include sanatoriums, dispensaries, rest homes. Once there, you will come across one of the options of the regime - sparing, sparing-training or training.
What exactly you will be prescribed in a resort is decided on an individual basis and is related to the general condition of you as a patient, fitness, endurance, and the nature of the disease.
We go to the sanatorium
For an example, let's see what is customary to offer vacationers at our domestic resorts. Suppose we have a stay in one of the sanatoriums belonging to the Caucasian Mineral Waters. What are the possible options?
The mode is sparing - one for which the smallest physical activity is characteristic. Its meaning is to limit the maximum possible number of stimuli, both physical and mental type.
The patient should be created psycho-emotional mood of a positive nature. Its meaning is to increase the adaptation of the human body to specific spa conditions. Especially the heart and blood vessels.
Assign it to those of patients who have serious organic lesions related to the cardiovascular system, diseases of other areas of moderate severity or in the phase of incomplete remission. And also if the disease is in the stage of exacerbation decay.
Rest and rest again
The gentle regime in this case consists in the quantitative predominance of rest periods over the activity phases associated with physical activity. After each of the prescribed treatment procedures, rest is mandatory, sleep or at least rest, the patient will have in the afternoon.
Hygiene exercises, organized in the morning, are carried out in groups with a small load (motor density 40-50% and a duration of not more than 10-12 minutes). Therapeutic gymnastics is conducted in small groups or individually. It lasts 20-25 minutes with an engine density of 40-60%.
Recommended in small doses once or twice during each day of the walk. The terrain should be uncomplicated, with a smooth relief, the length of each route - from 0.5 to 1.5 km. The interval for the restoration of forces between them should be at least an hour or two. During rest, breathing exercises should be practiced.
In general, can you move?
The pace of movement should be such that is inherent in the dynamic stereotype of the patient. In addition, independent physical education exercises are recommended for him 3-4 times daily for 5-7 minutes. With good health, the patient can afford games with a small load (such as croquet or bowling alley) for half an hour.
Other sanatorium regimes (we are talking about gentle-training and training) are characterized by increased physical activity compared to the considered. Their task is to expand the adaptive capabilities of the body. In this article, we will not dwell on the features of these types of regime.
What awaits students and workers
Let us return to the sparing regime and analyze what is invested in this concept in cases of restoration of the human body (adult or schoolchild) in the conditions of production activity or study. After all, not every time a doctor sends us to the resort!
A sparing mode of operation is indicated after most diseases, as well as for pregnant women (they are transferred to easy labor). For schoolchildren, it must be observed after an acute respiratory infections or other illness.
What is the essence of a sparing regime in an educational institution after, for example, ARI? The clinic issued a certificate of gentle treatment, on the basis of which the following measures are taken.
Classes at home and at school should be limited in time. For several weeks (three to four), the student is exempted from certain forms of extracurricular activities, for example, from cleaning the school grounds and premises, electives and lengthy excursions.
What else does a gentle training regime imply
Parents should ensure that the child is outdoors every day from three hours a day, primary school students should sleep during the day, after school, for at least an hour a month and a half in a row.
Children are exempted from employment in the school workshop for a week or two, physical education lessons - at the same time, any sports and other activities involving increased physical activity (for example, camping trips).
At the same time, high intellectual loads are not welcomed, so you should wait with the Olympics and competitions.
What is the role of the doctor?
A medical worker in an educational institution should monitor the course of recovery processes after illness in students. Together with the teaching staff and parents, the doctor selects certain measures within the framework of a sparing regimen for each child individually. This is especially true for those who have had severe respiratory viral infections or are ill more than 2-3 times in the school year.
Take care of the kids
For younger schoolchildren, a sparing regimen of the day and study is prescribed for 4 or 5 weeks after illness, for high school students - for 3-4 weeks. Teachers should try to free such children from paired and last lessons in the first week after recovery, not to call to the blackboard for an answer.
The first week of recovery is most important for improving health and preventing relapse, so it is very important for children to have extra time for outdoor activities.
Back at the gym
Schoolchildren admitted to physical education lessons should be engaged in a more gentle manner. Showing all types of walking and breathing exercises. Caution is required to approach speed exercises, strength, requiring endurance.
If the mode is gentle, the distance when walking and running must be reduced, climbing, acrobatic exercises and all sudden movements are excluded. The lesson should be interrupted by two or three pauses for one or two minutes to control the pulse and record the results in the self-monitoring diary.
What else to do
We should not forget about morning gymnastics at home, warm-up before classes in the classroom, physical education minutes, outdoor games of moderate intensity.
Often sick students should be taught little by little to skiing, skating, swimming, short-term hiking.
But the gentle regime is required to be observed here. At first, the load must be minimal, taking into account the reduced physical functionality of the child’s body and increase only with the restoration of working capacity.
