Sport Physiotherapy

Sport Physiotherapy

For recovery purposes, sport physiotherapy in athletes can be applied both with the same or different frequency. For example, in microcycles with intense loads, procedures can be prescribed every other day, and then two days in a row (before the day of rest and on the day of rest). With insignificant physical exertion (at the beginning of the preparatory period, after the competition - during recovery), the procedures are prescribed at regular intervals. Most often, the number of physiotherapeutic procedures and the intervals between them are set taking into account the entire range of rehabilitation measures for the athlete. In this case, it also matters how quickly it is necessary to restore body functions.

As a rule, in sports, a combination of local and general procedures is used, as well as the use of the same factor for segmental reflex and local methods of exposure.

At the beginning of the training cycle, methods of general exposure, as a rule, should be prescribed before local ones, since they, having a general strengthening effect of a wide range (baths, showers, general ultraviolet irradiation, aeroionization, etc.), prepare the athlete's body for large physical and psycho-emotional loads.

Throughout the training cycle in preparation for the competition, all rehabilitation measures with the participation of sport physiotherapeutic methods must correspond to the periods (retractive, basic, special, pre-competition) preparation and be planned individually. The volume of procedures, the number of courses, their frequency and the rhythm of the implementation of recovery measures should be proportional to the loads in terms of the total volume of training.

The training process makes certain demands on the methods of physiotherapeutic influence. So, with two training sessions a day, after a morning training session, it is better to use procedures of mainly local action (local massage, compresses, chamber barotherapy, etc.), after an evening training - general action procedures (baths, general massage, sauna, general magnetotherapy and etc.). General exposure procedures require more time to deploy a response and manifest their effect. At the same time, the means of local influence change (alternate) more often than the means of general influence.
