The article deals with the peculiarities of the results of tests carried out to determine the characteristics of the contact zone organized by stamping on a steel plate. During the test, the specimen was in the steel mold in which it was manufactured. The steel form was used to prohibit horizontal movement of the steel thin plates and minimize the effect of uneven slippage of the steel gouge in the direction perpendicular to the shear force. The considered tests were carried out according to a specially developed methodology, which took into account the specifics of the contact zone shear operation, the applied tooling and took into account the set objectives of the study.

The article deals with the question about the prospects of the use of modern equipment in order to develop and explore new methods of monitoring and diagnosing the health of the athlete. Particular attention is given to the experimental part of its implementation, and testing. During the software was developed, by which obtained data on the physical condition of an athlete in real time, as well as some physiological indicators.
