Cytochemical indices of blood lymphocytes in the assessment and prognosis of functional preparedness in a sportsman

: Cytochemical criteria of assessment and prognosis of training were worked out. Correlations between lymphocyte dehydrogenase activity parameters and morphological content of blood, adipose and muscular mass and results were demonstrated. The study of lymphocyte dehydrogenase activity was significant for assessment of training efficiency. Enzyme profile of blood lymphocytes is an essential and prognostic sign of the state of compensatory adaptive reactions of the organism. Cytochemical methods of blood lymphocyte investigation provided stable and correct results that allowed to determine the onset of decompensatory process associated with nonrational training of any pathological condition and to reveal functional disorders at the level of the organism. Changes in lymphocyte enzymatic status in highly qualified sportsmen were a specific sign of adaptive reorganization of structures influenced by physical load. The use of parameters of blood lymphocyte dehydrogenase activity gives a possibility to fit an algorhythm providing stable prognosis of the state of the organism of sportsman throughout training during the year.
