Відношення висококваліфікованих спортсменів до засобів відновлення організму в умовах навчально-тренувального процесу

Abstract

The recovery of athletes in the educational and training process is important for increasing the level of training and preventing the development of states of overstrain and overtraining. Purpose: To determine the attitude of highly qualified athletes to the use of means of body recovery in the educational and training process. Material and methods: 202 highly qualified male athletes aged 22.6±2.8 years, who are representatives of acyclic sports, were interviewed. The experience of playing sports was 10.3±3.1 years. In combination with other research methods, a questionnaire was conducted. The questionnaire included 4 blocks of questions, one of which characterized the attitude of athletes to recovery procedures. Results: it is shown that during recovery athletes prefer sauna (46% - occasionally and 23.3% - often), water treatments (41.6% - occasionally and 22.3% - often) and massage (45.5% - periodically and 9.9% - often). Athletes very rarely use kinesiotherapy (15.9%) and restorative self-training (9.9%). A positive attitude towards the use of recovery tools is associated with the age of the athletes (r = 0.231, p = 0.020) and the experience of their classes (r = 0.294, p = 0.003). Athletes with impaired work capacity, a feeling of increased excitability, superficial sleep, and a feeling of heaviness in the working muscles are prone to use the sauna. The use of massage is preferred by athletes with a feeling of increased excitability, apathy, mood swings and a feeling of fatigue the morning after training. Conclusion: the survey showed an understanding of insufficient organization of the recovery process, when active means of recovery are not used enough, despite the fact that they have significant opportunities to prevent the development of overstrain and overtraining.
