EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF PRACTICING A SPORT ON ATHLETES’ NERVE FUNCTION

EFEITOS DE DIFERENTES MODOS DE PRÁTICA DE UM ESPORTE NO DESEMPENHO NEURAL DE ATLETAS

EFECTOS DE DIFERENTES MODOS DE PRÁCTICA DE UN DEPORTE EN EL DESEMPEÑO NEURAL DE ATLETAS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Poor reaction time can cause irritability, easier distractions, and interfere with normal activities that require concentration.

Objective:

To study the impact of simulated hypoxic training on the immune system of female middle- and long-distance runners.

Methods:

Observation of 50 female middle- and long-distance runners living high and training low (HiHiLo) in regard to changes in CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, NK cells and NKT cells during the process of living low and training high (LoHi). Research indicates: HiHiLo training does have a significant effect on these indicators to enhance the antioxidant capacity of the brain and nervous system.

Results:

Living high and training low (HiHiLo) can improve the excitability of the nervous system of long-distance endurance athletes and has a very significant impact on the stability of the nervous system. This improves cardiopulmonary function under hypoxic conditions and has a role in promoting the ability to mobilize the skeletal muscles.

Conclusions:

It has been proved that different forms of exercise can effectively improve the athlete’s nervous response. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
