Motor plasticity of spinal cord for different sports

The data presented in the article prove that the effect of the activity of upper and lower extremity muscles on competition results in representatives of different sports with similar motor activity structure determines the intensity of neurophysiological signs of plasticity of cervical and lumbar-sacral spinal neuronal networks of motor control. Long cyclic moderate intensity activity results are revealed to have more prononced sings of motor plasticity of upper and lower limbs spinal motoneuron pools in comparison with mixed muscle activity of variable intensity.
