Methodology for comprehensive assessment of athlete's conditioning based on cardiometry and correction of physiological condition

Abstract

The article provides the methodology that allows coaches, doctors and other staff members to comprehensively assess the athlete's conditioning, control the level of fitness and correct the physiological state. The methodology is based on the theory of cardiometry. The data for assessment is taken from the ECG recorded with only one lead from the ascending aorta. It is an original concept of the methodology. The aortic ECG record is capable of delivering the total result of the heart’s performance that makes possible to comprehensively evaluate the athlete's conditioning. The relationship between the heart performance and the central nervous system operation is also indicated.
