Development and preclinical research of a product «Fit Tonus» for correction of a psychophysiological state and neuromuscular transfer in highly skilled athletes

Objective: development and tests of a specialized food stuff for correction of a psychophysiological state and neuromuscular transfer in highly skilled athletes. Materials and methods: objects of researches were: 2 prescriptions (in two dosages of 30 mkg/g and 60 mkg/g) of the developed specialized product of sports food for correction of a psychophysiological state and neuromuscular transfer in highly skilled athletes; 200 male rats of males of the Wistar line. Researches were conducted according to the official and standard techniques. Following physiological parameters were measured used during the study: arterial blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, respiration rate, ECG; specialized tests: «suspension for a tail», the Tredmil racetrack, assessment of working capacity and endurance on indicators of the forced (limit) swimming, registration of coordination by means of the Rota-ROD device, tests according to higher nervous activity: navigation memory, a labyrinth Barnes, testing of forming of a conditioned reflex of passive avoiding, the Open field test, measurement of an animal force by means of the Grip-strength meter device (the test for grasp force). Results: the best result was shown by group of the animals receiving the product in a prescription №2 in a dose of 60 mg/kg (containing a superoxide scavenger). In this group of animals immobilization time at suspension for a tail with increase in duration of the overcome distance on the tredmil decreased, time of the forced (limit) swimming raised and also the locomotory activity and force of a grasp increased that demonstrated increase in physical endurance, working capacity and neuromuscular transfer. Conclusions: it is revealed that «Fit Tonus» moderately reduces the level of situational uneasiness of mice and promotes increase in working capacity and speed of neuromuscular transfer.
