FEATURES OF FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM IN ELITE FEMALE ATHLETES OF DIFFERENT SPORTS
The purpose of this study was to examine and compare parameters of the neuromuscular system's functional state of female athletes with different direction of the training process. The study involved 41 female athletes specialized in weightlifting, track-and-field, triathlon, biathlon, rhythmic gymnastics. We have discovered higher values of the motor response (area, amplitude) in athletes, who train speed, power and endurance (track-and-field, weightlifting, biathlon, triathlon); higher values of nerve conduction velocity along the motor fibers of the peroneal nerve in athletes specialized in the speed-power direction (track-and-field, weightlifting); lower values of residual latency in athletes of complex coordination sports. Therefore, as a result of the conducted research, we revealed features of the neuromuscular system in female athletes engaged in different sports.
