Definition of an individual minute

To determine the "individual minute" you need to take a stopwatch in hand and press the start button of the second hand. Without looking at it, immediately start to count down to 1 minute and immediately stop the stopwatch.

Score.

• Persons with good adaptation to various loads( physical and mental) have very small deviations in the definition of the minute: plus or minus 3-5 seconds, i.e., 60-65 seconds.

• People with poor adaptation have a short individual minute - 46.2-47.0 s.

• People stopping the stopwatch on the 40th with, as a rule, have a poor tolerance of physical activity.

• Mentally unbalanced, especially those who committed suicide attempts, stop the stopwatch on the 30th or even 27-22 sec.

In diseases, the time characteristics also vary - the duration of the of the individual minute is shorter the more severe the disease.

The increase in the duration of an individual minute coincides with a decrease in body temperature.

For those who are in a state of depression, time is very slow.

In the literature there are unique examples where "seconds are stretched" and a person in an emergency in a few seconds performs for his rescue actions that are usually performed in a few minutes or more. Scientists continue to study this phenomenon.

There is information about geeks that can both chronometers constantly determine the time.

For example, in the XVIII century in Switzerland lived Jean Chevalier, who spent his whole life counting time in his mind and at any time could tell what time it was.

At present there are people who, when determining the individual minute, do not count seconds, but intuitively mark the last minute.

Each person has his own time scale: some ripen early, while others mature more slowly, some grow old early, others live young for a long time, keeping a clear mind up to 90-100 years.

The sense of time for a person is very important - it is the timely performance of work, the exclusion of delays with the correct estimate of the time needed for the road, the time is important in preparing the dinner, etc.

Lack of sense of time can cause accidents, road accidentsand other troubles in life.

The individual minute is a good marker for the progress of the "biological clock" of a person.

The sense of time changes under the influence of alcohol: it seems that a little time has passed, but in fact it has already passed several hours.

Chronobiologist NI Moiseeva believed that by changing the duration of an individual minute, one can also judge about the biological adaptation of a person.
