Abstract

Aim. The aim is to study overall and special working capacity in skilled kickboxers at two stages of pre-contest conditioning. Research organization and methods. The study was conducted using Schiller ergospirometric device (Switzerland) and Oxycon Pro (Mobile) telemetry unit (Germany). Results. The assessment of overall working capacity in kickboxers revealed significant reserves of anaerobic threshold, pulmonary volume, respiratory rate, and lung ventilation. Gas exchange factor was between от 0.837 (at rest) and 0.94 (when anaerobic threshold was reached); at the maximum load this factor was 1.10. Systolic pressure values indicated high cardiovascular stress in athletes during the functional test. Special endurance assessment involved analysis of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production charts. Conclusion. At the conditioning stage immediately prior to competitions we observed higher rate of lactic acid neutralization in the working muscles which indicated the higher rate of adaptation to the applied loads.
