At the present time WHO experts have determined four main factors influencing the human organism: genetic, ecological, the level of medical service and way of life. It was proved long time ago that the latter influences most significantly the level of health and compensatory-adaptive reactions of the human organism to the conditions of environment.

In the modern civilized world the man possesses numerous comforts. Technical devices have become more perfect and in many spheres of life physical labour practically completely has lost sense, converting in useless rudiment. This limitation of the number of movements determined by the way of life and peculiarities of professional activity has got a name – hypokinesia. The modern man successfully adapts to such state paying by his own health and destruction of those biological structures of the organism that have been improved during the whole human evolution.

Investigation of neuro-muscular system and influence of hypokinesia on the human organism led to the acute necessity to develop the system of prenosological control of the functional state of musculoskeletal system based on universally known and available noninvasive methods that have achieved wide spreading among physiologists, sports physicians and representatives of physical training professions. Unfortunately the popularity of such investigations has not touched classical medicine that in many cases treated consequences of the wrong way of life, the most dangerous component of which for the human organism is hypokinesia.

Longstanding investigations with the specialists of the Institute for biomedical problems in the sphere of functional diagnostics of neuro-muscular system allowed to single out several tests and combine them in one diagnostic complex where they all are carried out in definite sequence with the observation of relevant rules and safety measures. This bloc includes tests on determination of the flexibility of the spinal column and mobility of joints, determination of latent time of simple motor reaction, motor-coordinating functions, determination of the functional state of the muscles of shoulder girdle and prelum abdominale muscles. The package of these tests has become one of the blocs of “Health Navigator” technology that has been successfully working during five years in sanitary-prophylactic institutions and medical exercises dispensaries of Moscow and some regions of the country. On the basis of the data basis from 35 thousand of the examined persons in Moscow model characteristics have been calculated for young men and women at the age of 14-18 years old, the part of the population on whose shoulders the civilization progress and reproduction of the further generations of children will fall. Mass examinations with the use of the given system allowed not only to collect the necessary material for the statistical analysis and estimation of objectivity of the conducted tests but also to conduct calculations of the age norms on each of the investigated characteristic according to the six-numbers rating scale. It allowed to substantiate a series of normative tables for young men and women of Moscow at the age of 14-18 years old. Systematic observations of the same individuals during the period from 2001 to 2006 allow to forecast the functional state of neuro-muscular system of the modern teenagers for the following several years at the condition that their way of life will remain at the permanent level. Longstanding investigations in this direction fulfilled by us with the analysis of the dynamics of somatic health allow with high accuracy to estimate the influence of hypokinesia on the somatic health of the developing organism.

Many-sided investigation of this problem and volumetrical data basis allow to make a conclusion about the high degree of objectivity not only of separate tests of the program but of the developed by the author the whole system of prenosological control and assessment of functional state of neuro-muscular system and musculoskeletal system with the use of non-invasive methods of examination.
