In the conditions of increasingly stringent anti-doping rules, the development of new non-drug methods of treatment and rehabilitation of athletes is of particular importance. OBJECTIVE: Development of new methods of medical rehabilitation of athletes after injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-three athletes with knee injuries were examined. The main complaints were the presence of pronounced edema in the area of injury. All patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: in group 1 (16 patients) lymphatic drainage kinesis-taping was performed; in the 2nd group (17 patients) - complex treatment including lymphatic drainage kinesis-taping and low-frequency pulse magnetic therapy. Using laser Doppler flowmetry a study of microcirculatory disorders in the area of injury was carried out. The severity of edema was assessed by measuring the circumference of the knee joint of the diseased and healthy limbs. The assessment of the subjective feelings of athletes using questionnaires CIVIQ2 andVAS. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the obtained subjective and objective data, a medical complex was developed using lymphatic drainage kinesis-taping and low-frequency pulse magnetic therapy, which affects different steps in the pathogenesis of edema formation. Data obtained resultedin more pronounced positive effect during complex treatment compared with monotherapy with kinesis-taping.

Cross effect of electrostimulation of quadriceps femoris muscle during maximum voluntary contraction under conditions of biofeedback.

We describe cross effect of enhancement of muscular power and electrical activity during electrical stimulation. Due to the use of electrostimulation method with biological feedback and effort visualization for the examinee, its expression on non-stimulated leg by some indices approached that on the stimulated leg.

New aspects of the influence of quadriceps femoris muscle stimulation course on functional capabilities of the organism.

We studied the effect of a course of electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle with submaximal contraction under biofeedback conditions on functional capabilities of the organism. In addition to the known effects, electrostimulation course modulated the content of intra- and extracellular fluid and increases MDA content and creatine phosphokinase activity, which can be a manifestation of overtreatment. Impairment of body static balance after the course was revealed. Thus, monitoring of the effects of electrostimulation is required during the course.

Comparative study of stabilometric parameters in sportsmen of various disciplines.

Stabilometric parameters were compared in sportsmen of various disciplines (biathlon, boat racing, judo, and water polo). A decrease in the role of gravitational factor in sport activity was accompanied by the impairment of balance characteristics, which remained within normal limits of the mean population level.
