The influence of cytoflavin staged therapy on dynamics of
 laboratory values in professional athletes during first stage of preparation for the game season.

Abstract

The observation program was attended by 50 professional hockey players, divided into 2 groups, respectively, teams (25 people).The participants of the main group received step therapy with cytoflavin: first intravenously drip 10 ml of the drug diluted in 200 ml of 5% glucose solution, for 10 days, then 2 tablets 2 times a day for 25 days. Pharmacological support of participants in the comparison group were excluded the preparations of succinic acid or other metabolic means. Laboratory parameters were evaluated in dynamics: before the training (point 1), in the middle of the preparatory stage (point 2) and 35 days after the start of training (after the entire course of step therapy) (point 3). According to the results of the study revealed that the parameters of red blood (number of red blood cells, hemoglobin level, average red blood cell volume, average hemoglobin content in the red blood cell (MCH), the average concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cell (MCHC) were more stable against the background of the use of cytoflavin, and the values of aspartataminotransferase and creatinine decreased during the observation in the main group and increased in the comparison group so that at the point 3 level aspartataminotransferase (AST) in the main group became significantly lower than in the comparison group (p=0.039*), and the level of creatinine was equal at initially higher rate in the main group (p= 0.012*). MB - fraction of creatine phosphokinase (MB-CPK) in the blood decreased in the main group of athletes (in the evaluation test of Pillai p=0,004), did not significantly change in the comparison group. There were no significant differences in the indicators of cortisol and testosterone between the groups, although the level of cortisol decreased in the athletes of the main group, and testosterone - increased, while in the comparison group the situation was the opposite. By the end of the follow-up, a statistically significant decrease in lactate levels before and after training was revealed in the group of athletes taking cytoflavin.
