PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM ADAPTATION FAILURE IN ATHLETES WITH THE METHOD OF ABDOMINAL DECOMPRESSION

Abstract

The increase in the intensity and volume of training loads in modern sports together with strict antidoping policy draw increased attention to physiotherapeutic recovery methods. The paper presents the findings of the study of abdominal decompression to enhance adaptation to sport loads. The study group included 24 athletes (specialization rowing, age 16 to 18, proficiency level - the first class and Master of Sports candidates, sport experience over 5 years). The control group included 24 athletes of the same specialization, age and skill. The abdominal decompression sessions were held once a day for 10 days in the special preparatory period of the training cycle prior to the period of maximum loads. The training year included 3 courses of abdominal decompression.The course of abdominal decompression improved microcirculation, total and effective albumin concentration, resulting in increased albumin binding reserve and metabolite excretion, and reduced CPK MV level. The study group demonstrated the decrease in the number of cardiovascular disorders compared to the controls. Abdominal decompression can be considered an innovative efficient physiotherapeutic method to enhance the adaptive capacity.
