Fatigue Symptoms Under Local Exercise in Athletes Aged 17-22 Years

Abstract

The paper aims to identify functional features of hand muscles under local exercise to fatigue in acyclic sports. Materials and methods. University students from acyclic sports, where the largest load is distributed between the extremities, abdominal and back muscles, participated in the experiment.The control group involved non-athletes of the same age and gender. The subjects were tested on a finger ergograph or hand dynamometer (lifting an average weight to fatigue or holding a weight of 1/3 of submaximal at a given height). EEG data were recorded and work capacity was calculated under exercise. The results of the study showed that hand performance in athletes was higher than that of non-athletes. EEG differences were found in terms of fatigue symptoms, especially in slow-wave theta and alpha activity. The conclusionwas drawn on the use of local exercise for a comprehensive assessment of physical fitness.
