Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the isolated and combined course application of normobaric hypoxia and enhanced external counterpulsation in young female basketball players. We examined 86 female basketball players aged 10-14 years who are in the sports specialization stage. Physiotherapeutic procedures (enhanced external counterpulsation and normobaric hypoxic therapy in climatic chamber conditions) were conducted in isolation and in combination in breaks between training sessions. Efficacy was assessed on the basis of changes in indicators before and after the course application of the procedures (PWC sample 170, maximum oxygen consumption, stress tests). The greatest increase in general and special working capacity was found in young female basketball players with a 10-day combined course of normobaric hypoxic therapy and external counterpulsation.
