Combined use of transcranial magnetotherapy by a running reversible magnetic field and synchronized ophthalmic chromotherapy to improve cognitive abilities in martial arts athletes with peripheral retinal degenerations
Relevance. Sportsmen's working capacity and competitive success largely depends on the CNC functional state level, and the mastering of techniques in sports is determined by a combination of cognitive functions, which makes it extremely relevant to research new methods associated with improving athletes cognitive abilities. Materials and methods. Combined use of transcranial magnetotherapy by a running reversible magnetic field and synchronized ophthalmic chromotherapy to improve cognitive abilities in martial arts athletes with peripheral retinal degenerations. One hundred twenty martial arts athletes participated in the studies. Results of the study. The authors proved that the developed method causes correction of functional disorders and improves cognitive functions, in a greater degree than transcranial magnetotherapy, which is manifested in improving auditory memory (both in direct reproduction and in interference conditions), in reducing the number of errors and in increasing mental productivity, which is one of the main conditions on the way to improve sports performance. Conclusions. This method is easy to implement and can be recommended for practical use to martial arts athletes.
