Cardiorespiratory function status during stress testing of junior football players

The article examines the functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems during dosed physical activity. Cardiopulmonary stress testing involved 48 adolescents aged 15-16 years, including 24 young men involved in football and 24 young men who are not interested in sports. The results of cardiopulmonary stress testing indicate that improving professional sports skills without taking into account the physiological capabilities and functional reserves of the body can not only lead to an exacerbation of existing chronic diseases and injuries, but also creates the prerequisites for the occurrence of accidents. Therefore, it is so important to accurately and promptly determine the functional state of athletes and promptly make changes to individual sports training programs and prescribe preventive and rehabilitation measures individually based on the results of functional testing, season of the year, characteristics and volume of sports loads, climatic and geographical characteristics of the environment. This approach to organizing the training process provides an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of competitive activities while maintaining the health and professional longevity of athletes.
