Abstract
Aim of the work was to determine the peculiarities of rheographic parameters of the tibia in volleyball players of the general group and individual somatotypes.
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive examination of 108 highly skilled volleyball players and 130 practically healthy girls aged between 16 and 20 years who did not play sports was conducted. The rheovasographic parameters of the tibia were determined using tetrapolar reocardiography on a computer diagnostic complex with the assessment of amplitude, time, and indicators of the ratio of amplitude and time rheovasographic parameters. A somatotypological study was conducted based on a calculated modification of the Heath-Carter method (1990) with the division of volleyball players and non-athletes into 4 constitutional groups: mesomorphic, ectomorphic, ecto-mesomorphic, and intermediate type.
Results: Significant differences in the value of individual amplitude and most tibia rheovasographic parameters between volleyball players and girls of the control group were revealed. In athletes, the amplitudes of the systolic, diastolic and rapid blood filling, the duration of the rheographic wave, the time of the ascending and descending parts of the rheogram and slow blood filling were statistically significantly higher. Somatotypological features of peripheral hemodynamic indicators were determined in volleyball players; the greatest differences in the indicators of regional blood circulation on the tibia were recorded for representatives of the ectomorphic somatotype;
between volleyball players and non-athletes with ecto-mesomorphic somatotype, there was no significant difference in the value of all tibia rheovasographic parameters.
Conclusion: Systematic training and competitions lead to prominent changes in rheovasographic indicators of the tibia in young female volleyball players, which are manifested by a better state of capillary and venous blood filling of the tibia muscles, but at the same time a reduced speed of regional blood flow due to a reduced tone of the vascular wall of small and medium arteries.
