COMPETITIVE LOADS IN SWIMMING ACCORDING TO BIOCHEMICAL BLOOD INDICATORS
Competitions are a load at the limit of the athletes' functional capabilities and it is important to monitor the characteristics of metabolism according to biochemical blood parameters. To assess the tolerance of competitive loads, the indicators of urea, glucose, triglycerides, CPK, AST, ALT have been determined. The data obtained indicate a high muscle tension leading to an increase in the permeability of the cell membranes due to incomplete recovery processes that occur the morning after the second day of a competition. However, the mobilization of energy sources remained within the normal range.
