Assessment of the fitness level of female athletes in swimming based on analysis of indicators of heart rate variability

Ondertitel:Оценка уровня тренированности спортсменок в плавании на основе анализа показателей вариабельности сердечного ритма

Objective of the study was to identify differences in the dynamics of the indicators of sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation of heart rate in female swimmers of different fitness levels under the influence of standard training loads. Methods and structure of the study. Sampled for the study were 2 highly-qualified female swimmers (Swimmer A and Swimmer B) specializing in long-distance swimming, both aged 18 years and trained for the Universiade as part of the Russian Youth National Team. The study was carried out during the autumn-winter semi-cycle. The amount of work in water at the beginning of the mesocycle was 240 km for Swimmer A and 205 km for Swimmer B. During the basic mesocycle, the female athletes performed the same amount and intensity of work. The subjects' cardiographic data were recorded three times a day: twice - at rest, once - immediately after the training work. The data obtained were analyzed using the mathematical statistics methods. Results and conclusions. It was found that after the training work, the central contour tension index in Swimmer A decreased by almost 40%, which testified to the activation of the central contour of regulation of the heart functions. In Swimmer B this index decreased by 15% only, which indicated expressed predominance of the sympathetic channel of heart rate regulation, as well as excessive physical loading. It was proved that the main indicator of the training level is the synchronization of the effects of the nervous and hormonal components of heart rate regulation. The high degree of synchronization of these two components of heart rate regulation indicates that physical loads are adequate to the adaptive responses of the female athletes' body.
