Effect of a single transcranial stimulation on the recovery of ski-racers

Aim. The article deals with assessing the effect of a single transcranial stimulation with impulse current on the recovery of ski-racers. Materials and methods. 18 skiers aged 20 ± 2 (skiers of the first rank or that of Candidate of Master of Sport) participated in the study. Skiing for 3 km was used as a special load. To achieve the purpose of the study, we used the method of transcranial stimulation with impulse current after load. Results. During a single transcranial stimulation after a special load by the 20th minute, there is a statistically significant reduction of the urgent recovery of heart rate (HR), minute blood volume (MBV), the Robinson index (RI), the chronotropic index (CI). The time for the recovery of vegetative homeostasis also reduces. Conclusion. A single transcranial stimulation accelerates the recovery of the cardiovascular system in ski-racers by reducing the adrenergic effects of the autonomic nervous system. The efficiency of using transcranial stimulation is associated with individual-typological features of the vegetative regulation in athletes.
