Detected the differences in separate parameters of the cardiac rate after the smoke and heat training facility in persons with different levels of adaptive abilities. In military students with satisfactory adaptation the average value was higher than in the group with high adaptive abilities. Discovered the interrelation between psychophysiological responses and human personality. Personal adaptive potential and its elements (behavioral control and ethical standards) related to the frequency and the variability of the heart rate, speed parameters, and concentration capacity and accuracy.
