Influence of hypoxic effects on indicators of recovery processes of qualified sprinters

This article describes the influence of the use of dosed hypoxic effects in the training process of qualified athletes who specialize in a short distance running. The effectiveness of such tools has already been proven in the specialized literature, however, they are mostly one-time applications. In this study, we attempted to develop a methodology for the use of hypoxic effects in the training process of sprinters. The conditions of artificial hypoxia have been created by the means of a special mask with a diaphragm, which created additional resistance to the breathing of sprinters in the acute recovery period (immediately after special motor tasks and aerobic exercises). The study of the effect of a targeted influence on the respiratory system of sprinters allowed to establish that the parameters of the recovery processes of athletes returned quicker to the initial state than while breathing under normal conditions. The analysis of the dynamics of two key indicators reflecting the recovery processes, such as blood pressure and heart rate of skilled sprinters of control and experimental groups as a result of their training in conditions of artificial hypoxia, showed that the recovery rate of working capacity was higher among athletes of the experimental group than among the athletes of the control group...
