Water is the basis of life. Any factors acting on water will also affect the functioning of living organisms, including humans. Mechanical effects are as ubiquitous as temperature or magnetic fields. Numerous works have been devoted to the action of mechanical impacts on living systems, aqueous solutions, and water. However, no unified theory that would allow predicting the consequences of mechanical effects on living organisms based on their characteristics. In this review, we have attempted to systematize the available quantitative data on the effects of mechanical impacts on living organisms, cells, aqueous solutions, and purified water. In addition, in this review, we provide a basic overview of the variety of mechanical effects and the mechanisms of their realization. The responses of living systems and aqueous solutions depend quantitatively on different sets of characteristics of the vibration action. The magnitude of responses of living systems (cells and organisms) to mechanical action correlates with frequency, acceleration, and force. Mechanical action changes the characteristics of water and aqueous solutions as a function of frequency, acceleration, and duration. The data obtained may find application in a wide range of fields: from analytical chemistry and pharmacology to environmental protection.
水是生命的基础。任何作用于水的因素也会影响包括人类在内的生物体的功能。机械效应与温度或磁场一样无处不在。许多研究致力于机械冲击对生命系统、水溶液和水的作用。然而，目前还没有一个统一的理论能够根据生物体的特性预测机械效应的后果。在这篇综述中，我们试图将关于机械冲击对生物体、细胞、水溶液和纯净水影响的现有定量数据系统化。此外，在这篇综述中，我们对各种机械效应及其实现机制进行了基本概述。生命系统和水溶液的反应在数量上取决于振动作用的不同特征集。生命系统（细胞和生物体）对机械作用的反应程度与频率、加速度和力相关。机械作用会根据频率、加速度和持续时间改变水和水溶液的特性。所获得的数据可能在广泛的领域得到应用：从分析化学和药理学到环境保护。
