“…The study of the psychophysiological characteristics of athletes allows us to identify the most important factors influencing the effectiveness of competitive activity. The results in a certain way reflect the specific impact of a sport on the state of the body of athletes (Podrigalo, O. et al, 2020). A similar design variant was used by Podrigalo L. et al when comparing the biochemical parameters of children depending on the frequency and duration of contact with video games.…”

Purpose. to research and analyze of the indicators of functional asymmetry in different sportsmanship level esports athletes. Methods. the study involved 20 middle-aged athletes (18±1.53) years old, divided into groups according to their sportsmanship. Group 1: elite players of semi-professional teams in CS:GO and DOTA 2 disciplines, n=10, age (19.2±0.50) years. Group 2: amateur CS:GO and DOTA 2 players, n=10, age (18.2±1.04) years. The functional asymmetry of the movements of the upper limbs was determined using a special program for tablet computers running iOS, developed at the departments of martial arts, computer science and biomechanics of the KhSAPC. Results. It has been established that in terms of the number of clicks per unit of time, elite esports athletes are dominated by amateurs by 5.54% on the left and 5.14% on the right hand; in terms of visual motor reaction time, elite esports athletes prevail by 5.54% on the left hand and 5,07% on the right hand; elite esports athletes showed a 13.3% shorter left-hand click duration, but amateurs showed a 6,83% shorter right-hand click duration. Conclusions. Players with a higher level of preparedness tend to have less asymmetrical movements. In the proposed test, elite athletes demonstrate a greater number of movements per unit of time; at the 2nd stage of testing, the differences are significant (p<0.05). At the same time, the reaction time of more skilled players is less than that of amateurs; at the 2nd and 4th stages of the test, the differences are significant (p<0.05). Indicators of functional asymmetry of movements of the upper limbs informatively characterize the level of preparedness of esports athletes and can be included in the program for monitoring the physical condition of players in cybersport.

“…Dividing the test into several stages can significantly increase the information content of the results. A similar technique was used by Podrigalo et al [27] in the analysis of the psychophysiological condition of water and game sports athletes. Repetition of the same tests by participants allows indirectly to judge their ability to mobilize and concentrate in extreme conditions.…”

Background and Study Aim. The study of functional asymmetry in students and schoolchildren practicing martial arts using a computer test. Material and Methods. The study involved students and schoolchildren (n = 38) practicing the martial arts (taekwondo, karate). Participants were divided into groups according to the sports’ skill level. The first group included experienced athletes (n = 15, age – 19.00 ± 0.45 years). The second group included beginners (n = 23, age - 9.78 ± 0.65 years). The functional asymmetry was determined using «Reaction SM Dual» software for tablets with iOS. Two visual tests were used. The duration of each test was 100 s. Each test was divided into 5 stages. Each stage lasts 20 s. The first test (simple reaction) – the participant pushes against the circles on the screen with two hands. The second test (differentiated reaction) – the participant pushes against the circles of the same color (out of five possible) on the screen. The following indicators were determined: the number of pushes with the right and left hand (abs); reaction time with the right and left hand (s); duration of pushes with the right and left hand (ms). It was estimated the following indicators: total number of pushes; average reaction time; average duration of pushes. Results are estimated using parametric and nonparametric statistical indicators. Results. The number of pushes in the test, the reaction rate, and the duration of pushes were significantly higher in experienced athletes. It was determined the asymmetry due to the lower duration of pushes with the right hand compared to the left hand in beginners. The asymmetry was not confirmed in experienced athletes. The reaction rate for the left hand significantly increased compared to stage 1 in beginners: at stage 2 (t = -2.41), at stage 3 (t = -2.23), at stage 4 (t = -2.30) and at stage 5 (t = -2.68). This dependency was less expressed for the right hand. It was confirmed the increase of the reaction rate in comparison with stage 1: at stage 3 (t = -2.39), at stage 4 (t = -2.00) and at stage 5 (t = -2.32). The differences in the dynamics of the test were more expressed in experienced athletes. It was determined the decrease in the number of pushes compared to stage 1: stage 2 (t = 2.53), stage 4 (t = 2.89) and stage 5 (t = 2.61). For the right hand, this pattern was more expressed. The decrease in the number of pushes was determined compared with stage 1: stage 2 (t = 2.17), stage 3 (t = 2.07), stage 4 (t = 2.39) and stage 5 (t = 2.94). Experienced athletes have confirmed significant changes in the reaction rate with their left hand compared to stage 1: stage 4 (t = -2.33) and stage 5 (t = -2.06). For the right hand, this pattern was confirmed only for the final stage of the test (t = -2.35). Conclusions. It was confirmed the legitimacy of using a special computer test to study functional asymmetry in students and schoolchildren practicing martial arts. The test division into several stages can significantly increase the information content of the results. The applied battery of indicators provides the necessary information for the analysis of asymmetry. It was determined the best functional condition of experienced athletes compared to beginners. Experienced athletes demonstrate the best ability to mobilize and concentrate on extreme conditions. The dynamics of the test also confirms the asymmetry in athletes with less training experience. Performing a test with a differentiated stimulus confirmed the revealed patterns. The lack of asymmetry in experienced athletes confirms optimal training tactics. The asymmetry in beginners stipulates the correction of training. Used computer test can be recommended for martial arts athletes’ condition monitoring.

Heart rate monitors (HRMs) are used by millions of athletes worldwide to monitor exercise intensity and heart rate (HR) during training. This case report presents a 34-year-old male amateur soccer player with severe bradycardia who accidentally identified numerous pauses of over 4 s (maximum length: 7.3 s) during sleep on his own HRM with a heart rate variability (HRV) function. Simultaneous HRM and Holter ECG recordings were performed in an outpatient clinic, finding consistent 6.3 s sinus arrests (SA) with bradycardia of 33 beats/min. During the patient’s hospitalization for a transient ischemic attack, the longest pauses on the Holter ECG were recorded, and he was suggested to undergo pacemaker implantation. He then reduced the volume/intensity of exercise for 4 years. Afterward, he spent 2 years without any regular training due to depression. After these 6 years, another Holter ECG test was performed in our center, not confirming the aforementioned disturbances and showing a tendency to tachycardia. The significant SA was resolved after a period of detraining. The case indicates that considering invasive therapy was unreasonable, and patient-centered care and shared decision-making play a key role in cardiac pacing therapy. In addition, some sports HRM with an HRV function can help diagnose bradyarrhythmia, both in professional and amateur athletes.
