摘要:Purpose. The objective of our study was the electroneurophysiologic characterization of performance sportsmen,including the selection of future participants, objective evaluation of training quality and highlighting the existence of subclinical lesions that may influence sporting performance.Material and methods. The study included 29 performance sportsmen, with an average age of 18 years, who practice handball, volleyball and fencing for at least 5 years. For each subject of the studied group were recorded symmetrically the peripheral motor response and motor conduction velocity for the median nerve.Results. When comparing the group of sportsmen with that of the sportswomen, the most numerous statistically significant differences were recorded for the peripheral motor response.Also, when comparing data obtained for the entire group with the subgroups of tested sports, as well as between sports, significant differences for amplitude, area and duration of motor response were recorded.Comparing the values of motor conduction, only the ones of the handball-fencing subgroups were different.Conclusions. The present study allows the highlighting of specific functional adaptations, obtained by training,which might shape a neurophysiologic profile for performance sportsmen.
