ABSTRACT
The present study was focused on etiopathogenetic aspects of injuries and diseases of the locomotor system (LS) in football players. Up-to-date methods for the prevention of LS tissue overstrain during the execution of physical exercises are described. Adequate application of preventive measures allowed biochemical and physiological characteristics of these tissues to be improved. Specifically, the frequency of muscular spasms and pain was reduced to 1.9% compared with 22.8% in the control group.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the possibility of accelerating adaptation and acclimation of 106 athletes aged from 18 to 34 years to hot and moist conditions by combined treatment including consumption of a special drink and cryomassage including the use of aromatic oils. It was shown that the proposed approach proved highly efficient in that it accelerates acclimatization and adaptation to hot and moist climate.
