Abstract
Purpose: to investigate the nature of changes in the indicators of oxygen-containing blood elements in amateur athletes with different duration of systematic triathlon training. Material & Methods: peripheral blood taken from 96 physically active men examined was considered as an object of study. Indicators of oxygen-containing blood elements were determined using an automatic hematological analyzer. (MicroCC-20 Plus, США). Results: amateur athletes showed a link between the duration of regular triathlon classes and red blood indicators, in particular, a significant increase in the content of red blood cells and hematocrit was shown in the sixth month of triathlon training for non-athletes. Revealed a significant decrease in the average red blood cell volume in the blood of amateur athletes for 12 months of triathlon training compared to untrained individuals. Conclusion: most pronounced changes in oxygen-containing blood parameters are observed in amateur athletes in the first 4–6 months and depend on the duration of systematic aerobic exercise. With the duration of systematic classes of 1 year, there is a stabilization of indicators, which may be associated with the achievement of the optimal level of functioning of the blood system. The decrease in oxygen-containing blood parameters during long periods of systematic training may be associated with inadequate intensity of training loads or intense competitive activity.
Highlights
Today, one of the most priority directions of state policy in Ukraine is the formation and preservation of public health [9; 18]
The study of the direction of motor activity of members of fitness clubs revealed that amateur athletes have a kind of fitness priorities, which are caused by real circumstances, opportunities, requirements, as well as individual tastes [2]
To prevent training for beginner athletes and individuals engaged in recreational physical culture, serious testing, and the task of medical control during sports and wellness training is an objective assessment of the functional state and functional capabilities of the body of this category of people
