HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA IN THE SPORT OF HIGHER ACHIEVEMENTS
As sports achievements and success at competitive events depend on many factors, one of which is the health status of the athlete, the purpose of this study is to estimate the frequency of detection in sportsmen of various sports of such a state as hyperbilirubinemia, the relationship between the intensity of physical exertion and the level of bilirubin. Following the development of the mechanisms of functional states that arise during exercise, provoking bilirubin metabolism disorders, and also assessing the data of foreign studies, a direct dependence of the increase in load intensity and the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia in a number of athletes was revealed. Since the stability of hematological status indicators is one of the key factors determining optimal physical performance, especially in the sport of higher achievements, it is important to monitor athletes with hyperbilirubinemia and in a timely manner to provide them with a set of measures aimed at restoring the level of bilirubin.
