Influence of vestibular stimulation on statokinetic stability of athletes of various specializations

It is shown that the average value of chronotropic response of the heart on the athletes’ vestibular sensory irritation and duration of reaction are inversely related to the intensity of exercise sport with angular acceleration. Severity of reactions of BP to vestibular stimulation, in contrast to the reaction of the heart rate is not associated with the kind of sport of athletes and their specific motor activity. According to the stabilographic test, most stabilometric statokinetic sustainability indicators of athletes of cyclic, situational and targeted sports did not differ. To the greatest extent significant differences in the regulation of the body balance between athletes of different specializations, occur under the influence of vestibular stimulation. In the control test the effectiveness of the body to maintain balance in the sample compared with athletes is significantly lower, the center of pressure deviations from the vertical axis are more vivid, indicating a lower regulation of body balance.
