The Department of Sports of the City of Almaty has begun implementing a pilot project to introduce a system of functional diagnostics and scientific and medical support for athletes in the sports reserve.Today, an athlete's training is not only about workouts and competitions. It is equally important to understand how the body handles physical loads, whether it has enough time to recover, and whether there is a risk of overtraining or injury. That is why modern methods of sports science are becoming an essential part of athlete preparation worldwide.As part of the program, athletes undergo comprehensive examinations using cutting-edge methods of sports medicine and functional diagnostics. During the examination, specialists assess heart function, the respiratory system, endurance levels, and the body's ability to recover after physical exertion. To this end, modern sports diagnostic technologies are employed, including body composition analysis using the InBody device, electroencephalography (EEG), as well as ergospirometry testing with continuous wireless ECG monitoring in real time.The project is being implemented at the Trinity Corp. Center for Sports Medicine and Diagnostics. Thanks to the agreements reached, Almaty athletes now have the opportunity to undergo comprehensive examinations under special conditions. Diagnostics are performed using specialized equipment commonly used in sports medicine for the objective assessment of athletes' functional status.The first participants in the program are students of the Specialized Boarding School for Gifted Children in Sports. Currently, 133 young athletes are undergoing in-depth diagnostics. By the end of the year, more than 200 athletes from Almaty's sports reserve, who are set to take part in national and international competitions, will have undergone examinations as part of the project.According to a sports medicine physician, the main value of such diagnostics lies not only in assessing the athlete's current physical fitness."Modern sports diagnostics make it possible to timely detect signs of overtraining, insufficient recovery, and risks that could lead to a decline in athletic performance or injury. The data obtained helps coaches and specialists more accurately plan the training process, individually distribute workloads, and monitor the athlete's condition at all stages of preparation," the specialist noted.Upon completion of the project, an analysis of the results will be conducted, and the prospects for further development of the scientific support system for athletes in Almaty's sports reserve will be considered.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/1246335?lang=ru
