Studying the Impact of the Light Environment on the Health of Athletes Using the Example of an Educational Institution

Abstract

The article considers the problem of creating standardized lighting in sports facilities (gym halls). The article assesses the impact made by the reflection coefficients of the surfaces in the room, the chromaticity of the lamp radiation, and the distribution of light from lighting fixtures on the qualitative and quantitative indicators of lighting. The authors have carried out studies of the actual lighting in the premises intended for sports events, as a result of which it has been established that the lighting of sports facilities is an important and difficult task that helps both athletes achieve the desired results and fans who watch spectacular competitions in the stands and on television. Not only the comfort and convenience of athletes, but also the general safety of the participants in the competition, judges and spectators depends on how well the lighting of the stadiums is organized. Correctly selected stadium lighting fixtures play an important role in the presentation of spectacular events, and poor-quality lighting can even affect the course of the game. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to study the impact of the light environment on the health of athletes, in particular, at sports facilities of a higher educational institution. In the course of work, the authors determined the ways of solving the problem. Based on the study of the actual illumination of the playing hall and according to the calculated indicators, we were able to give recommendations for the modernization of the artificial lighting system, namely the use of 36 LED floodlights of the Feron LL-925 2835 SMD 250W 6400K IP65 AC220V/50Hz type. The required power of the developed artificial lighting system will be 9 kW and the purchase of lamps will cost about 350 thousand rubles.
