Abstrakt		Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the effects of prolonged physical inactivity on the subject's level of anxiety, emotional regulation and control, and concentration ability. Methods: Horizontal bed rest (BR) is a well-accepted method to simulate an acute stage of human adaptation to the microgravity in space flights, and also an important model to study consequences of physical inactivity and sedentarism on human body. The subjects participating in the study were ten healthy male volunteers, aged between 20 and 25, who were exposed to a 35-day horizontal BR in strict hospital environment. The participants were asked to complete psychometrical inventories - the State Anxiety Inventory, the Emotional Regulation and Control Scale and the Test of Concentration and Achievement - prior to, during and after the BR experiment. Results: After the period of physical immobility no significant decrease in the examined psychological variables was established. The level of anxiety, emotional regulation and control, and concentration ability, expressed as the quantity of achievement, remained relatively stable during the experiment, whereas concentration expressed as the quality of achievement even improved after the experiment (p=0.020). Conclusion: Research results showed no adverse effects of prolonged physical immobility on the psychological state of the selected group of subjects. We tried to identify possible reasons for the established findings, and to compare them with the results of similar previous studies. The findings are applicable to the health and sport areas.
Izvleček		Namen: Ugotavljali smo vpliv dolgotrajne gibalne nedejavnosti na stopnjo anksioznosti, uravnavanje in nadzor čustev ter na sposobnost koncentracije preiskovancev. Metode: Najpogostejša metoda za spremljanje učinkov popolne gibalne nedejavnosti na človekov organizem je simuliranje breztežnostnega stanja t. i. bed rest (BR) model, ki predpostavlja daljše obdobje ležanja v vodoravnem položaju. V študijo smo vključili 10 zdravih moških med 20. in 25. letom, ki so 35 dni mirovali v strogem vodoravnem položaju, ki je zrcalilo popolno gibalno nedejavnost. Preiskovanci so izpolnili Lestvico za merjenje anksioznosti, Lestvico regulacije in kontrole emocij ter Test koncentracije indosežka teden dni pred začetkom eksperimenta in ob njegovem zaključku. Rezultati: Po daljšem obdobju gibalne imobiliziranosti ni prišlo do pomembnih sprememb v stopnji anksioznosti, uravnavanju in nadzoru čustev ter koncentraciji preiskovancev, izraženi v količini dosežka, medtem ko se je koncentracija, izražena v kakovosti dosežka, po eksperimentu celo izboljšala (p=0,020). Zaključek: Rezultati raziskave ne kažejo škodljivih učinkov daljše gibalne imobiliziranosti na psihološki status izbrane skupine preiskovancev. Vprispevku poskušamo navesti morebitne razloge za dobljene izsledke in jih primerjati z rezultati drugih podobnih študij. Izsledki imajo uporabno vrednost na zdravstvenem in športnem področju.
