Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: for this purpose, 5-6 hours before and 30-50 min after extreme loads with the use of a face mask of an anaesthesia apparatus or with the use of a portable inhaler, a patient is exposed to a gas mixture of xenon, helium and oxygen. The mass ratio of xenon, helium and oxygen in the mixture makes (10-20):(30-40):(50-60) respectively. The exposure is applied at least 2-3 min before the onset of euphoria.

EFFECT: method enables effective and fast increase of sportsmen performance capability ensured by exposure to the gas mixture with certainly selected gas ratio.

Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to the physiology of sports, and is aimed at increasing (restoring) the physical performance of athletes after maximum psychophysical loads.

Known methods for improving human performance, involving the use of therapeutic respiratory gas mixtures: medical oxygen, hyperbaric oxygenation, "mountain air", hypoxic oxygen-nitrogen, hypoxic and hyperoxic oxygen-helium mixtures (Kots Y. M. Sports physiology. M.: Physical education and Sport, 1986. - pp. 121-166; Pavlov B.N. et al. Fundamentals of barophysiology, diving medicine, barotherapy and treatment with inert gases. - M., 2008. - S.369-388; Patents of the Russian Federation No. 2082451 from 27.06 .97, 2016564 from 07/30/94; 2104013 from 10/02/98; 2181278 from 04/20/02; 2286128 dated 10/27/06., Etc.). Each of the listed breathing mixtures is used to solve various problems facing athletes and trainers: increasing (restoring) physical performance, increasing endurance, maintaining performance against the background of injuries in athletes, etc. The disadvantages of these methods are the need for prolonged use (10-20 days) (normobaric and hyperbaric oxygenation, hypobaric or normobaric hypoxic training, hypercapnic training), short-term effect when using oxygen-helium mixtures, the absence of a complex effect on the athlete's body with one mixture to increase performance for a long time.

A known method of increasing efficiency (RF patent No. 2235563 from 05.06.2003 .; IPC A61M 16/10) by exposure to a gaseous product 5-6 hours before and 30-50 minutes after extreme loads by inhalation with a gas mixture of xenon and oxygen in a mass ratio (5-50) :( 95-50), which is carried out using the facial mask of the anesthesia machine or using a manual inhaler until euphoria occurs, but not more than 5 minutes.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the pronounced narcotic effect of xenon with its content of more than 20%, accompanied by loss of consciousness in athletes sensitive to xenon anesthesia or sedative effect for 48-80 hours, as well as a high oxygen content (50-95%), which leads to a toxic effect with repeated use or to negative vascular reactions of the body in athletes with high sensitivity to hyperoxia.

The objective of the present invention is to remedy these shortcomings, namely, ensuring safety, efficiency and more rapid increase in performance.

This task is achieved in that the increase in physical performance is carried out by exposure to a gaseous product 5-6 hours before and 30-50 minutes after extreme loads by inhalation of a xenon, helium and oxygen gas mixture in a mass ratio (10-20) :( 30- 40) :( 50-60). In this case, inhalation is carried out using the facial mask of the anesthesia apparatus or using a manual inhaler until euphoria occurs, but no more than 2-3 minutes.

The method was tested with the participation of athletes involved in sambo and judo in the amount of 10 people with a skill level of 1 category, candidates and masters of sports. In the tests, a complex of standard clinical and physiological methods for assessing the functional state of athletes was used (Guide to practical exercises in human physiology. - Ed. By Prof. A. Solodkov. Training manual. M., 2006. - S.80-130).

After a single exposure by the claimed method, it was found that the athletes have improved functional condition. Static endurance increased by an average of 1.4 times, and physical performance by 22%. Sedation was observed only during the first three hours after inhalation.

The new method has significant differences from the prototype method. The main difference is increased efficiency due to the combined use of a three-component mixture of xenon, helium and oxygen for breathing, as well as the use of inhalation for no more than 2-3 minutes.

The positive effect of the method is associated with the use of a breathing mixture with a xenon content of not more than 20%, a decrease in the density of the mixture by 2-4 times due to the use of helium in the mixture to 30-40% and a decrease in oxygen content to 50-60%, which does not lead to toxic effect.

A method of increasing the physical performance of a person is as follows. A respiratory gas mixture containing xenon, helium and oxygen in a mass ratio of (10-20) :( 30-40) :( 50-60) is preliminarily prepared in high-pressure cylinders using a gas mixer and a gas analyzer for oxygen. The mixture is piped through a gearbox and breathing machine to breathe through a mask. Another option is to use an anesthesia machine or an inhaler. Athletes breathe this mixture while lying on the couches for 2-3 minutes until euphoria occurs, after which the masks are removed. Monitoring the condition of the athlete is carried out using a pulse oximeter that records the oxygen content in the blood and pulse rate, as well as by measuring blood pressure using a tonometer. At the end of breathing through the mask, the athletes rest lying down for 5 minutes, after which they are released.

The method is absolutely safe, including with repeated exposure to humans.

The invention is fully ready for use. Its implementation will provide new achievements in sports.
