DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD OF RESTORING ATHLETES USING THE TECHNOLOGY OF COMBINED EFFECTS OF ENDOMASSAGE AND MAGNETIC FIELD
The research objective is to develop and scientifically justify the recovery method for athletes using the technology of the combined effects of endomassage and a magnetic field. Materials and methods. The study involved 30 athletes specializing in weightlifting, fencing, rhythmic gymnastics, biathlon; 13 men, 17 women at the age of 18.3 ± 0.7 years old. Endomassage and magnetic field procedures were performed on the Mantis MR 99 apparatus. It is a device combining pulsating magnetic fields in stochastic resonance and mechanical roller endomassage. The influence of the effect was investigated by the method of stimulation electroneuromyography and rheovasography. The results of the study showed that the combined course (at least 5 sessions) application of endomassage and magnetic field is aimed at increasing the functionality of the neuro-muscular apparatus: the amplitude increasing, the area of the M-response and the speed of motor conduction, increasing the number and synchronization of active motor units; restoration of hemodynamics of loaded muscles during intense physical exertion. Conclusion. The developed technique contributes to delayed recovery and prevention of fatigue injuries and injuries of the musculoskeletal system of athletes during intense physical exertion.
