The level of functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory system of athletes engaged in triathlon

Abstract

According to scientists, determining the features of the functional state of athletes, taking into account their heavy training and competitive loads, is an urgent problem that requires further development and detailing. The purpose of the study is to identify the level of functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of athletes engaged in triathlon. Research methods: assessment of the level of functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory system of triathlon athletes was carried out using the computer program "ShVSM-INTEGRAL" (authors – Shapovalova V.A., Malikova M.V., Svatieva A.V.). Organization of the study: the research was conducted during 2022- 2023. according to the thematic plan of scientific research of the PDAFKiS for 2021-2025 on the topic "Theoretical and methodological foundations of training athletes in non-Olympic sports" (state registration number 0121U109266). Athletes who participated in the studies signed a consent to participate in the studies. The experience of triathlon was more than 5 years. Material. Analysis of the hemodynamics of the heart muscle by the calculation method according to the norms of the "ShVSM- INTEGRAL" program proved that all the studied components in the vast majority (58%) corresponded to the level of "above average", in 26% of athletes there was a "high" level. The rest (16%) had an "intermediate" level. This is evidence of the high level of training of the athletes who participated in the studies. Conclusions. Assessment of the functional state of the cardiovascular system and the system of external respiration made it possible to state its high level. It should be noted that this is due to the specifics of the sport, in which preference is given to the development of endurance, which, in turn, contributes to an increase in the indicators of the respiratory system. The study made it possible to confirm the rational choice of specialization of athletes and to state the normal state of the body's regulatory systems.
