摘要：The aim of this paper is to describe and assess the energetic metabolic activity of selected muscles of upper and lower extremities during Rotational Training (RT). The influence of RT on temperature changes in the biceps and triceps brachii muscles as well as the quadriceps and biceps femoris muscles of healthy university students were verified,in addition to temperature differences between the left and right side before and after RT. The study was conducted on 18 subjects. RT was conducted in accordance with accepted forms of training methodology of collective fitness. An important part of RT was the performance of circular and rotational movements. Thermograms taken before and immediately after RT focused on 4 regions of selected agonists and syner_x0002_gists in the upper and lower body. The camera used was the infrared hand-held CEDIP Titanium 560M IR (USA),located at a distance of 10 m from the sub?ject. After RT,median Tsk (skin temperature) decreased in almost all of the examined ROIs,except for the left and right Qf (the quadriceps femoris,rectus femoris,and sartorius muscles) as well as the left Tb (triceps brachii) in female subjects. In male subjects,left and right Tsk of Qf increased both for the left and right Tb. Left-Right ∆Tsk (temperature difference) was statistically signif?icant (p < 0.05) for Of,Bf,Bb,Tb in female as well as male subjects. It was concluded that thermography is a non-invasive,safe,and low-cost method for the recording of physiological response of the skin to RT.
