Blood flow changes in carotid system in athletes during cognitive test

Regular sports training sessions modify the nature of hemodynamic transformations under cognitive load. Regular cyclic load forms coordination of reactions of cerebral vessels, providing a constant level of blood supply to the brain under the conditions of cognitive load. Static load in powerlifting, on the contrary, reduces the ability of the brain vessels to respond to external factors resulting in the cerebral blood flow becoming largely dependent on extracranial factors. It can be assumed that sports training causes restructuring of the cerebral blood flow regulation. Regular cyclic load forms coordination of reactions of cerebral vessels, providing a constant level of blood supply to the brain under the conditions of cognitive load.
