[The Specific Effects of Magnetic Stimulation Depending on the Specialization of Sportsmen]

The article presents data on the effect of magnetic stimulation of quadriceps muscle in the professional sportsmen: cyclists and long jumpers (Magstim Rapid 2 magnetic stimulator was used). In the experiments involving 3 cyclists and 4 long jumpers, both male and female, we observed an increase in the effect of FR muscle fibers (Burke classification) on the process of muscle tension during magnetic stimulation in the frequency range of the activity of motor units. We found some differences between these two types of sportsmen, which result from the characteristics of muscle tension during typical muscle activity.
