The Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA) of Russia will conduct 21 research in the field of sports, worth 125 million rubles.
To avoid doping scandals, to test the neurobiology and modification of the athlete's brain, biofeedback and training in virtual reality.
As the "Soviet Sport" writes, all studies should be completed before November 1 of this year.
FMBA published two serious state contracts for scientific research. The research itself is encrypted.
For example, the essence of the Wirth-18 research is the following: the athlete is scrolled through a video sequence that puts him in a state of stress. In advance to the head of the sportsman sensors are attached - they are connected to a computer. When the body is in a state of stress, it fixes the computer. The reaction is seen on the monitor by the athlete himself and with the help of specialists his brain is trying to accustom to stress and to force not to react to it.
In addition to the physical condition of athletes, FMBA plans to improve their mood. Again, pharmaceuticals will not be used - only technology, computers and electric current. We are talking about complex technologies called "transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain" (TPP) and "endomassage".
The essence of the TPP is the following: by means of special technology, electrical impulses are applied to the human brain, then as a result of complex physiological processes, the? -Endorphine. Accordingly, a high level of? -Endorfin produces an anti-stress effect on the body - as a result, the athlete improves his mood.
Endomassage is a combination of vacuum massage and classical kneading technique. There is a "shock" effect on fat deposits, restores elasticity, tone and elasticity of the skin, reduces the volume and improves the relief of the body.
Another technology - "translational spike-stimulation". The essence of this: a special device athlete puts on the tongue. Further, the electrical impulses in orderly irritate the nerve endings of the tongue. Excitation is transmitted through the language to the brain, which, in the end, allows you to better manage your body.
With the help of electric current, FMBA also plans to restore the strength of athletes after training.
Against the backdrop of treatment with electricity and virtual videostracks, research under the cipher "correction-18". We are talking about the issue of acclimatization of Russian athletes at the olympiads in Paris in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028. At the request of the FMBA, the study should be modeled in a climate chamber, not in the cities of Paris or Los Angeles. It is specified that the conditional time of year in these cities is summer. According to the position of FMBA - this means a temperature of -20 to +50 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 2% to 98%.
The results of the study will give a clear understanding of what temperature regime should be in the "rest rooms, canteens, buses and other places of stay of athletes". In addition, it becomes clear how to properly use air conditioners, observe the drinking regime and diet.
__________________________________ Recall, in 2016, a doping scandal broke out, in which Russia was implicated. The WADA investigation headed by Richard McLaren.
In his reports, it was said that Russian athletes were involved in manipulating doping tests at the Sochi 2014 Olympics. To replacing the doping tests with "clean" were involved senior officials of Russia.
December 5, 2017 IOC disqualified the Russian national team from the 2018 Olympics. Participation in it was accepted by "pure" Russian sportsmen under the neutral Olympic flag.
