Abstract

The article presents a significant cause of male mortality and the results of empirical observations of a group

of 7 men working out in the gym under the supervision of a trainer. Men are more susceptible to cardiovascular

diseases earlier and more than women. Wellness training and psycho-emotional stability have a preventive

effect on the development of cardiopathology. Men’s regular gym-based training for 3–6 months, 3 times a

week for 1.5 hours in the gym, increased personal self-esteem and satisfaction, improved body composition,

but at the same time, prenosological diagnostics of the functional parameters of the cardiovascular system of

the examined patients gave unsatisfactory results. To reduce the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system

in men, it is necessary to carry out a prenosological diagnosis of the functional state with subsequent correction

of the structure of the training load, perform individually dosed cardio in a sufficient and safe range of

heart rate and breathing exercises.
