Summary

The physical mechanisms of cryogenic and MW impacts on the human organism tissues are disclosed, the tissues thermophysical properties are studied within a wide temperature range. On that ground, the effective technologies of abovementioned impacts application, are disclosed and for the first time approved for treatment of some complicated child’s illnesses. Today, the notion “cryotherapy” includes combination of physical methods of treatment based on heat removing by means of liquid, solid and gaseous working bodies (from a humid cold rub-down to the impact using ultralow temperatures). A cooling effect may be applied to different areas of the body as well as to the all body of a man. In sportive medicine the temperature lowering of skin reduces the conduction of nerve impulses and at +5°C the conduction of these impulses is completely blocked. The authors examined the rates of involution of pathological symptomatology of damages. They studied the data obtained after one week of treatment (analgesic freezing) of patients of an experimental group. During appraisal it was revealed that the sum time of rehabilitation of sportsmen using analgesic freezing decreased 2.5 times in comparison with the rehabilitation time of sportsmen which didn’t use it. These technologies are included in the complex of rehabilitation actions with the sportsmen.
