Abstract

Background.To maintain the health of athletes, the development and implementation of modern, highly effective means of recovery and stimulation of the body's adaptive capabilities into the training process is of the utmost importance.

The aim of the studyto develop a physiotherapy course including abdominal decompression and general air cryostimulation, and to substantiate the possibility of its use for intensifying the training process and adequate recovery.

Materials and methods.A simple, open-label, comparative, prospective, randomized study was conducted in parallel groups. The study included 34 male athletes, representatives of rowing sports, aged 16–20 years. Using the “envelope” method, the athletes were divided into two groups of 17 people each. The main group underwent a cryostimulation session in the ICEQUEEN cryosauna and an abdominal decompression session on the KAD-01-ACC “NADEZHDA” device for 10 days.

Cryostimulation and abdominal decompression were not performed in the comparison group. At the beginning of the study and after 10 days, the total and effective concentration of albumin in the blood was determined with the calculation of the reserve binding of albumin, creatine phosphokinase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea, cortisol and testosterone with the calculation of the anabolism index, lactate levels. Functional tests were carried out: Stange's test, Romberg's test, and the circulatory efficiency coefficient was calculated.

Results and discussion.Under the influence of the proposed course, there was a decrease in creatinine phosphokinase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate, against the background of an increase in the albumin binding reserve. There was no decrease in the anabolic index and an increase in the urea level, which occurred in the comparison group. A decrease in the coefficient of circulatory efficiency and an increase investibularresistance relative to the comparison group were noted.

Conclusion.The positive trends identified in metabolic normalization, reduction of muscle strain, and detoxification, coupled with good functional test results, suggest a program for athletes that includes abdominal decompression for post-exercise recovery and cryostimulation to intensify training without increasing training volume.
