COMPLEX APPLICATION OF MAGNET, HYDRO- AND PRESSOTHERAPY FOR RESTORATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF BASEBALL PLAYERS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF INTENSE TRAINING IN THE MIDDLE ALTITUDE
The purpose of this work was the scientific substantiation of the comprehensive application of magnet, hydro- and pressotherapy to restore the functional state of baseball players under conditions of intense training in the middle altitude. The study involved 22 highly qualified male baseball players. During 14-day training camps in the middle altitude (Kislovodsk, altitude of 1240 m above sea level) in a specialized sports base, athletes had intense training loads (2 times a day), after training, the athletes underwent a set of procedures, including magnet therapy, hydrotherapy and pressotherapy, the course of rehabilitation treatment included 7 of the abovementioned procedures. For scientific substantiation of the complex’s effectiveness, the functional state of the musculoskeletal system was identified using the methods of rheography and electromyography. According to the results of the study, the use of the course of restorative procedures had a positive effect on the functional state of the musculoskeletal system of baseball players during intense training loads in the middle altitude, contributing to the improvement of peripheral hemodynamics of the lower extremities, increasing vascular tone and venous out-flow, to a greater extent in the right leg. We have also noted the prevention of deterioration in the functional state of the neuromuscular system, which occurs under the influence of performing great training loads and insufficient recovery.
