Sympathoadrenal monitoring of the influence of artificial hypoxia on sprinters’ training

Abstract

In modern sports one of the main tasks of a coach is to expand the adaptive capabilities of sprinter’s body and to increase the efficiency of its energy supply. Mostly, this is achieved by improving traditional methods of training through introduction of nontraditional ones into the training process. The article presents the author's program of development of speed-strength qualities, which combines traditional training with the hypoxic one. The hypoxic training included exercises at Frolov breathing simulator 2 hours before bedtime during general stage of training. The following research methods were used: theoretical analysis and summary of the data of scientific and methodical literature; analysis and summary of empirical data of scientific research; studying and summary of leading sports practice experience; pedagogical observation; pedagogical experiment; functional methods; biochemical methods; methods of mathematical statistics. During the experimental part of research for the control of the effect of experimental factor, veloergometric test «Vita max» was used. The article presents the dynamics of the sympatho-adrenal system in terms of excretion of catecholamines - adrenaline and noradrenaline in response to the test load "Vita max" on the background of hypoxic training of sprinters throughout the annual macrocycle. Having analyzed the biochemical parameters of the sympathe-adrenal system of sprinters during the pedagogical experiment, it is possible to state the positive influence of author's program of development of speed-strength qualities with the inclusion of breathing by Frolov method on the state of homeostasis function of catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline) in qualified sprinters. Consequently, as a result of pedagogical experiment with the use of artificial hypoxia by Frolov method in the process of sprinters training, a significant increase of adaptive capabilities of athletes was established, which gives the right to recommend this program for improvement of their training.
