Abstract

Aim. To study psychoemotional condition of tourists during their rafting on the Ay River. Materials and Methods. We analyzed psychophysiological condition of subjects during their 3-day rafting on the Ay River in the periods of physical load and rest. We used Wessman and Ricks' method and HADS scale to analyze psychoemotional condition of tourists during their whitewater rafting tour. We took blood pressure and measured heart rate in tourists at different stages of the tour. Results. During the tour, positive changes in blood pressure and heart rate as well as psychoemotional condition of tourists were observed. Conclusion. To improve the health-promoting effects of tourism it is necessary to study and justify the recommendable range of physical and psychoemotional loads based on the analysis of changes in psychophysiological functional and levels of fatigue.
