Tobacco use remains one of the most important public health issues, especially in the context of professional sports. Despite the well-known harmfulness of smoking, some athletes continue to use tobacco products, which negatively affects their results and career.Physiological aspects of smoking influence:The respiratory system undergoes the following changes:Reduced vital lung capacity by 15-20%,Impaired diffusion capacity of the lungs,Development of chronic obstructive lesions,Deterioration of gas exchange by 10-12%,Formation of carboxyhemoglobin,Violation of bronchial patency.The cardiovascular system demonstrates:Increased blood pressure by 10-15%,Deterioration of microcirculation,Reduced vascular elasticityViolation of coronary blood flowIncreased heart rate,Violation of the rheological properties of bloodThe muscular system undergoes changes:Reduced oxidative capacity of muscles,Violation of energy metabolism,Reducing the number of mitochondria,Violation of protein synthesis,Deterioration of tissue capillarization.Impact on athletic performance: Physical conditions of smokers are characterized by: with a decrease in endurance by 15-20%, a decrease in speed indicators by 10-12%, a slow recovery process by 30-40%,a decrease in muscle strength by 15%, an increase in the risk of injuries by 25%, and a delay in tissue regeneration processes.Impact on various sports:If we consider cephalic sports, the first thing worth mentioning is a significant decrease in the efficiency of movements, which implies a rapid onset of body fatigue, a breakdown in the technique of performing exercises, which leads to the risk of injury, reduced work efficiency, poor coordination, and a decrease in the effectiveness of the training process as a whole.In power sports, there is a breakdown of neuromuscular transmission, a decrease in strength indicators, a decrease in concentration of attention, and a breakdown in the technique of performing exercises.Team sports are subject to the following changes:Reduced tactical thinking,Deterioration of interaction with partners,Impaired coordination of movements,Reduced decision-making speed.Psychological aspects.The cognitive functions of smokers show a decrease in concentration by 20%, a decrease in memory by 15%, a delay in psychomotor reactions by 10%, an increase in the level of anxiety by 25%,a breakdown in sleep, and a decrease in stress toleranceBiochemical changes in the body are also present.Metabolic disorders:Violation of carbohydrate metabolism,Violation of fat metabolism,Violation of the water-salt balance,Violation of mineral metabolism,Violation of hormone synthesis,Practical recommendations:Comply with the anti-smoking program for athletes, which should include:Pearly detection of smoking,Individual consultations,Alternative methods of stress relief,Educational programs,Regular health monitoring,Rehabilitation programs,Psychological support,Power monitoring,Correction of the training mode.In conclusion, I would like to say that smoking has a complex negative impact on sports achievements through the destruction of the functions of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, a decrease in physical indicators, a decrease in the psycho-emotional state, a delay in recovery processes, a violation of biochemical processes, and a decrease in cognitive functions.To achieve high sports results, complete smoking cessation and a comprehensive approach to body recovery are necessary, including:Medical rehabilitation,Correction of the training process,Psychological support,Changing your lifestyle,Preventive measures.
