Athletes of power sports, often appear to us as a model of a beautiful and healthy body, but the health of the cardiovascular system ofthese athletes has long falls under the gaze of cardiologists and sport physicians.
Purpose of the study. A comparative analysis of the influence of a uniform and high-intensity aerobic exercise on blood pressure lowering power sports athletes with hypertension.
Research Methods. The study involved 83 representatives of power sports (bodybuilding) with arterial hypertension. The average age of male athletes was 31.2 ± 4.5 years, and the body mass index was 32.4 ± 2.8 kg/m 2. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: examination, interrogation, triple measurement of blood pressure, ergospirometry and methods of mathematical statistics. Athletes were randomized into three groups: interval training group (n = 33), uniform training (n = 30) and control group (n = 20). For 120 days (3 times a week), the athletes of the main groups performed various aerobic work programs, and the control group athletes trained according to their traditional strength protocol.
Results. After 120 days of physical rehabilitation, a similar, significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure occurred in themain intervention groups. A decrease in blood pressure in the control group was not statistically significant.
Conclusions. Despite the similar benefits in cardio-rehabilitation interval work required 38% less time, which can significantly affect adherence to a non-specific for this sport activity and screening of participant’s lengthy rehabilitation.
The question of the recreational effect of ambient temperature on most of the body's vital processes is often raised, which makes it the most important environmental factor, adaptation to which can be decisive for the body's adaptive capabilities. In our work, we evaluated the effect of using a sauna at + 85°C after tests for maximum performance and physiological characteristics in healthy, physically active men.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
