Abstract

Objective of the study was to investigation of medical and biological factors that could impede the enhancement of the training performance among elite kayakers and canoeists.

Methods and structure of the study. The results of 18 series of own monitoring of the current functional state of highly skilled kayakers and canoers over six years (2019-2024) are summarized. In total, 43 male rowers aged 18 to 36 years (5 HMS, 8 MSIC, 27 MS, 3 CMS) and 23 female rowers aged 18 to 33 years (2 HMS, 4 MSIC, 15 MS, 2 CMS) took part in the research. Current changes in the morphological, protein and biochemical composition of blood were analyzed (antistreptolysin-O content, hemoglobin concentration, total protein content, albumin concentration, glucose, lymphocyte content at leukocyte levels from 4,5 to 7,5*109/l, hemodynamic parameters and electrocardiogram (total number of records 1360), criteria for the functional state of the autonomic nervous system, as well as sleep disorders according to a simplified scheme of the SAN questionnaire (assessment of athletes on a 5-point scale of sleep status, appetite and desire to train).

Results and conclusions. It was discovered that a significant number of athletes in the selected group experienced negative shifts in their parameters, with these shifts occurring in 20 to 80% of measurements. These shifts were often associated with underlying conditions such as chronic infections, central nervous system fatigue, pre-anemic states, protein deficiencies, and more.

Therefore, to address the issue of personalizing and enhancing the training process for elite kayakers and canoeists, it is crucial to identify and address their individual medical and biological risk factors.
