Abstract

Purpose. The aim of the study: to identify the model characteristics of the functional reserve of elite dancers taking into account cardio-respiratory reactions.

Material & Methods. The study involved 12 male and 12 female partners (24 pairs) aged 24.3±2.1 (boys) and 22.3±2.2 (women) years. The body weight and height of men were 74.4±2.9 kg and 181.9±2.1 cm, and women – 52.2±2.1 kg and 163.9±2.2 cm. All athletes have international qualifications. Energy performance indicators were recorded using MetaMax 3B and Biosen+ gas analyzers.

Results. As a result, statistically significant differences were obtained in the variables VO₂ max, VE/VO₂, VE/VCO₂ between male and female partners (p<0.05). In male, VO₂ max is significantly higher (55.8 vs. 41.0, p<0.001). At the same time, in female, VE/VO₂ and VE/VCO₂ are significantly higher. The variables % excess of VE, T50VO₂, T50VCO₂, T50VE and La VO₂ max did not show significant differences (p>0.05). According to some ideas, the assessment of the level of special functional training of elite dancers only by the VO2 max and La max indicators is insufficient. The level of functional readiness depends on the physiological functions that provide the functional basis for the manifestation of individual and paired skills of dancers.

Conclusions. The predominance of aerobic power (VO2 max) supports the specific performance of male dancers. In female dancers, the deterioration of aerobic power indicators is compensated by an increase in the efficiency of the use of the glycolytic reserve. This is accompanied by high efficiency of respiratory processes, high efficiency of oxygen consumption, pulmonary ventilation volume and respiratory compensatory reaction of metabolic acidosis.
