Morpho-functional mechanisms of acceleration of recovery processes in tissues after traumatic injuries in sports

Extremely high loads in modern sports are accompanied by an increase in sports injuries. For an active athlete, this means a forced exit from the training cycle, disruption of the competition schedule, deepening of the permanent stress syndrome with the risk of developing general maladaptation. The relevance and relevance of solving this problem in sports makes us pay attention to the development of the latest technologies for radically reducing the treatment time for sports injuries, as well as to analyze the history of fundamental scientific discoveries that were the prerequisite for their appearance. The purpose of the study is to review a number of fundamental studies that provided the prerequisites for the development of innovative technologies for accelerating recovery processes in tissues after traumatic injuries in sports. Material and method. Literary sources of the library fund of the Russian National Research Medical University. N.I. Pirogov (RNIMU, Moscow), funds of the scientific library eLI-BRARY.RU, open sources of the information and communication network Internet. Depth of review - 27 years (1995-2021). The method is an analytic-synthetic approach. Results. Many years of fundamental research on blood platelets led to the discovery of their functional polymodality. They are directly involved not only in hemostasis, but also in accelerating the recovery of damaged tissues. These studies were made possible by the discovery of a new class of dimeric glycoproteins contained in the alpha granules of platelets, collectively called platelet growth factors. On the basis of these studies, technologically simple methods of treatment were developed and introduced into the practice of sports medicine, in which there is a 2-3-fold acceleration of recovery processes in tissues. Conclusion. The achievements of scientists in the field of fundamental sciences open up the possibility of introducing PRP-therapy® and Plasmolifting© technologies into the practice of sports medicine. Numerous types of sports injuries and injuries are direct indications for the use of these technologies directly in teams, during training and competitive processes.
