EFFECT OF GENERAL CRYOTHERAPY ON SUBJECTIVE PHYSICAL INDICES
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Cryogenic therapy exerts extensive stimulant effects. Its successful application in medicine provides the basis for using it as a stimulant in sport. At the St. Petersburg State University of Refrigeration and Food Technologies, the response times to a color stimulus of a group of people undergoing general sports training were tested before a cryogenic therapy procedure and over 4 hours after the procedure. The results showed that cryogenic therapy averaged response times, and so it cannot be used as a pre-competition stimulant. At the same time the results showed that cryogenic therapy can be used to intensify the training process.
