Characteristics of skin thermovegethetic function under short-term physical load in 14-15-year-old adolescents involved in systematic swimming training
The aim of this work was to determine the degree of thermo-vegetative reactivity of skin in different anatomical areas, the baseline temperature of which is significantly different. To do this, it was necessary to study the nature of the rapid adaptation of the organism to the short-term effects of physical activity. It is shown that a three-minute physical exercise on a bicycle ergometer in adolescents aged 14-15 years old, regularly engaged in swimming, causes a different temperature increase in different skin areas. The temperature was determined by the method "Thermochron iButton" with an interval of 1 minute. The absolute temperature amplitude during and after the load in different skin areas is different. These changes reflect the balance of the peripheral blood flow and indicate the physiological mechanism responsible for maintaining the temperature homeostasis. The paper discusses the possibility of applying the quantitative method for individual evaluation of the thermo-vegetative function in athletes.
