The Influence of Cold Atmospheric Air on the Environmental Health of Sportsman
Abstract
On the basis of a systematic analysis of the scientific literature, it was found that the increased sensitivity of a modern human being to the negative effects of the cold natural environment is due to its passage from the shrouds of East Africa with characteristic high ambient temperatures, primarily atmospheric air. At the same time, in comparative terms, the extinct Neanderthal, with his Eurasian apprehension in the conditions of glacial periods, was on the contrary sufficiently well adapted to the cold environment. The subsequent adaptation of a modern human type at the genetic level with the formation of the main races (Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid) could not sufficiently compensate for its insufficient resistance to the cold environment. According to the results of the research, the main ways of solving the problem of the negative influence of the cold natural environment on the ecological health of athletes were determined: the rationing of the order of sporting activities of athletes depending on the degree of low-temperature environment, diagnosing the athletes' hypersensitivity of the respiratory tract to cold atmospheric air, degree of tension of the processes of thermoregulation of the body. The conclusions are drawn according to which the prevention of the negative impact of extreme conditions of the cold environment (primarily cold atmospheric air) on the ecological health of athletes should be systemic, integrated. The system of preventive measures should include an early diagnosis of the development of airway hyperresponsiveness of athletes to the effects of cold atmospheric air, as well as an assessment of the degree of tension of the body's thermoregulatory system to the effect of cold. In the system of preventing the negative impact of the cold environment on the body of athletes engaged in winter sports in the open space, it is necessary to include regulation (normalization) of the temperature regime of cold atmospheric air when determining the possibility of holding sporting events. If necessary (the presence of hypersensitivity of the airways to the action of cold atmospheric air), it is advisable to use special means of protecting the respiratory tract of athletes from the negative influence of cold atmospheric air.
