Structure of somatosensory evoked potentials of sportsmen-weightlifters and martial artistsof different qualifications

The results of studying the structure of somatosensory evoked potentials in athletes, weightliftersand martial artists of different qualifications are given. The specific features of the functional state of the neuromuscular system, reflectingthe physiological mechanisms of sporting excellence in weightlifting and karate are considered. In the course of training in karate,certain changes in the nervous system, resulting in the primary somatosensory cortical activation zone occur much earlier. Correspondingly,qualified karate training increased the speed of analysis of sensory information, and smaller amplitude potentials indicated a betterresponse, less synchronous and subtler work of the nervous system. These figures relate to the fact that highly skilled karate influenceprimary somatosensory cortical activation zones, respectively, highly increased speed of analysis of sensory information. Smaller amplitudepotentials indicate a better response, less synchronous and subtler work of the nervous system in highly skilled karate. Parametersof somatosensory evoked potentials can be used as a criterion for assessing the level of fitness of athletes.
