摘要:The article presents the thermovision diagnostic method as one of the tools for monitoring changes in athletes’ loading conditions during their training. The method’s advantage lies in its quantitative approach, fast analysis and the comparative studies involving an application of this method. All basic mechanisms of heat transfer to the skin’s surface are presented, enabling a comprehension of the experimental results. In this article the results are presented as a temperature field distribution on a selected skin segment and they change with time, depending on the integral parameters of an athl- ete’s loading. Also examined were the characteristic changes in the temperature field which depend on an athlete’s physical loading. In addition to a quality evaluation of the temperature field’s topological structures, time-related changes in locally averaged temperatures in a selected window were evaluated as well as the pertaining time-depe- ndent local temperature variations in individual training loading regimes. The results of the study indicate the rationality of applying the IR method for monitoring various types of loading on an athlete’s muscle segments. This method may also be used as a compar- ative tool for establishing the efficiency of different means and methods in the training process.
