Dynamics of cytomorphological indicators in armwrestlers during the training process and competitive activity

Abstract

The issue of the functional state of the body of arm wrestlers is poorly studied. There are isolated research data on the improvement of the functional state of the body of arm wrestlers as a result of training. The study of the functional state of the body of these athletes is extremely important, as it determines the athlete's success during competitions and the growth of skill during many years of sports training. The purpose of this work was to determine the cytomorphological indicators of the buccal epithelium of arm wrestlers during the training process and during the performance at the championship of the Lviv region on February 10-11, 2024. As a result of research, we established that the cytomorphological indicators of the buccal epithelium of arm wrestlers, obtained by us during the training process, indicate the absence of discomfort in the body of athletes after training, which is due to the adequacy of physical exertion during training, which is not excessive for athletes of a given age. Changes in the cytomorphological indicators of the buccal epithelium during the Championship of the Lviv Region indicate a significant strain on the body's functional systems, signs of dehydration in the winner who played twelve matches (on both hands). In other athletes, there are certain signs of discomfort and strain on the body's functional systems (cytolysis, karyolysis, karyorrhexis, the presence of binucleated cells and leukocytes). The indicators we obtained during the athletes' performance at the Lviv Region Championship show gradual progressive changes in the athletes' bodies (the development of fatigue and dehydration) depending on the duration of their participation in the competition.
