The paper outlines the scientific bases for hygienic rationalization of adolescents' vocational training to make their adaptation to vocational and production conditions better, to promote their health and prepare for their original work at an enterprise. A systemic approach has been applied to the solution of the hygienic problems in adolescents' vocational training wherein the vocational and production setting is regarded as a system of professional and production factors, whereas the adaptation to the setting is considered to be a system of physiological mechanisms maintaining the functional status and working ability of pupils during vocational training. This approach covering a wide range of the problems stated and solved has been the first to reveal the mechanisms and trends of interaction between the growing organism and vocational and industrial factors, improve the scientific bases for the vocational training of adolescents, as well as to substantiate a set of hygienic recommendations and introduce them into vocational training and industrial process of a vocational school.
