Gender characteristics of the reaction to the training load of athletes specializing in hand-to-hand combat with partial contact with the opponent

Abstract

Purpose: a comparative assessment of changes in the psychophysiological indicators of athletes of different sexes and levels of fitness under the influence of test training load. Material and methods: the study involved 66 athletes, of which 42 were male and 24 were female, of different levels of fitness. All athletes before and after the training load according to standard methods were determined individually-typological and psychodynamic indicators, the level of attention and fatigue, a tendency to risk. Results: after the load, trained athletes compared with the initial state significantly decreased indicators of the mobility of nervous processes and the strength of nervous processes, which indicates development of a state of mobilization. In novice athletes, no reliable changes in indicators were found. In trained athletes, no significant differences in the indicators before and after the load were found, and in beginning athletes, all psychodynamic indicators significantly decreased. Conclusions: training load led to the development of a state of mobilization in trained athletes, and for novice athletes - a state of fatigue. In novice athletes, a simultaneous decrease in all the studied parameters against the background of the predominance of inhibition processes in the central nervous system may indicate the absence of a stable stereotype of the reaction to the load, which led to the development of a mobilization state with the imultaneous development of a state of fatigue, which indicates the need to correct their training. The data obtained indicate the presence of gender differences in the response of the central nervous system of athletes of different levels of fitness to the load. It is no changes were detected in well-trained athletes.
