Physical and functional fitness of university basketball players after the use of the Omega-S system

Aim. The paper aims to assess physical and functional fitness of basketball players and personalize their training during preseason conditioning. Materials and methods. Twenty-three university basketball players participated in the study after the 2018/2019 basketball season (sports club of the Transbaikal State University, Department of Sports Medicine, Regional Center for Sports Conditioning). A theoretical analysis and review of scientific and methodical literature were performed. The experimental part of the study was performed by using the Omega-S system and included heart rate variability analysis (current fitness level), neurodynamic analysis (energy metabolism), brain mapping (psychoemotional status), and fractal analysis (adaptation level). The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Results. In subjects, HR was within the normal range. However, decreased adaptation levels were found, fitness levels were close to critical values, and energy efficiency was significantly reduced. In the end of the season, psychoemotional health was associated with stress, fatigue, and decreased and low levels of physical fitness. Conclusion. The use of the Omega-S system contributes to the management of physical and functional fitness, allows to predict training and competitive performance, and simulate training activities through their personalization.
