The aim of the study: to determine and compare the low frequency fatigue of the legs’ muscles of 12–13 years old boys during the isometric and eccentric-concentric physical exercises. The objectives of the study: 1. To determine the exertion of low frequency fatigue during isometric exercises in boys. 2. To determine the exertion of low frequency fatigue during eccentric-concentric exercises in boys. 3. To compare the exertion of low frequency fatigue among isometric and eccentric-concentric exercises in boys. Subjects. Healthy boys (n = 6) aged 12–13 (12,4 ± 0,6) who do not participate in sports regularly but attend the classes of physical education twice a week. The rest period between the studies was three weeks. The tension was set up at 50 % MVS level. After that the values of the contractions and relaxations of the muscles were registered as follows: 1. The strength of muscle contraction caused by a single electric stimulus (Pt); 2. The strength of muscle contraction (P) caused by the following regiments of electrostimulation: 7 Hz (P7), 10 Hz (P10), 15 Hz (P15), 20 Hz (P20), and 100 Hz (P100) (the duration of the stimulation – 1 s, and the rest intervals between stimulations – 5 s); 3. Maximal voluntary strength (MVS) of muscle contractions (three trials every 3 minutes); 4. The workout (10 minutes of slow pedaling on the ergometer: the heart rate contractions from 110 to 130 times per minute); 5. Isometric workload: 18 times, each lasts 15 s, 40 % MVS contraction...

Temperatūra yra svarbi kūno raumenų funkcijai. Jai padidėjus greitėja raumenų susitraukimas ir atsipalaidavimas, didėja išvystomas galingumas, o per didelė raumenų temperatūra gali sumažinti fizinį darbingumą. Padidėjus kūno temperatūrai perduodami nerviniai impulsai smegenims: padidėja prakaitavimas, suaktyvėja kraujo apykaita, susilpnina raumenų veiklą, medžiagų apykaitą, ir tai sukelia nuovargį. Dideli temperatūros pokyčiai gali paveikti maksimaliąją izometrinę jėgą. Aukšta rektalinė temperatūra (daugiau kaip 40ºC) gali neigiamai paveikti centrinę nervų sistemą (CNS) ir šilumos išsiskyrimą iš organizmo. Hipertermija yra limituojantis veiksnys atliekant fizinį krūvį. Hipotezė: Manom, kad adaptacija pasyviai hipertermijai padidins raumens atsparumą nuovargiui ir izometrinio krūvio jėgą. Tyrimo tikslas - ištirti pasyvios hipertermijos poveikį moterų keturgalvio šlaunies raumens adaptacijai izometrinio krūvio metu ir širdies kraujotakos sistemai. Buvo tiriamos 6 sveikos, aktyviai nesportuojančios moterys, kurių amžiaus vidurkis 21,5 ± 1,6 m. Tyrimą sudarė du etapai. Pirmajame etame tiriamieji buvo tiriami esant įparastinės raumens būsenos temperatūrai. Antrajame tyrimo etape, kuris vyko dvi savaites, kai raumuo buvo pašildytas. Buvo matuojama moterų dešinės kojos, keturgalvio šlaunies raumens izometrinė maksimali valinga jėga bei nevalinga jėga, naudojant 1, 10, d10, 20, 50 100 Hz dažnių elektrostimuliaciją. Buvo stebimi širdies kraujagyslių sistemos pokyčiai pasyvios... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Temperature is important for muscle function. Muscle contraction and relaxation becomes quicker, development of power increasing as the temperature of the body raises. Immoderate temperature of the muscle, as a result, can decrease physical efficiency. Increased body temperature affects the nerve impulses, transmitted to brains, sweating level and also activates the blood circulation process. Hyperthermia is a limiting factor during the physical load on muscles. Large variations in temperature can cause changes in maximal voluntary force. High rectal temperature (higher than 40ºC) may negatively affect the central nervous system and the thermal emission of the body. Heating affects the skin and superficial layers of human body. Optimal temperature of water in which the muscle is placed during the study is about 45 ºC, because the higher temperature may cause the degradation processes of the proteins. Increased body temperature reduces the metabolism and the activity of the skeletal muscle, which causes the fatigue. Hypothesis: We think that the effect of passive hyperthermia increases the muscle resistance to the fatigue and the increase of the isometric strain. Objective of this research is to explore the effect of passive hyperthermia on women quadriceps adaptation to the isometric strain and cardiovascular system. The experimental group 6 females: age average 21.5 ± 1.6 y. The research consisted of two stages: During the first stage volunteers were tested in the basic... [to full text]
