The hypokinetic effect on the nystagmic reaction and illusory sensations upon caloric and galvanic stimulations of the labyrinths was studied on six test subjects (professional gymnasts). Under normal conditions the sportsmen predominantly showed the nystagmic response to the caloric irritation of the left labyrinth. A 10-day hypokinetic exposure produced a noticeable decrease of the above asymmetric nystagmic reaction to the caloric irritation of both labyrinths. Simultaneously an enhancement of illusory sensations and a decrease of their thresholds in response to the firect current labyrinthine stimulation were noted. The above changes can be attributed to the hypokinesia-induced decline of mechanisms of vestibular adaptation of sportsmen.
