The aim of the study was to determine alterations of the values of chosen parameters of the vascular bed resulting from systematic aerobic (road cyclists) and anaerobic (weightlifters) training compared to individuals with a sedentary way of life. The tested group consisted of 12 athletes: 6 cyclists and 6 weightlifters, with II and I sport group, practising for at least 4 years. In the weightlifters' group predominant training load was directed at strength, whereas in the cyclists' group priority was to form endurance capabilities. All athletes were tested during the competition period. The control group consisted of 30 persons, who practiced motor activity for 1-2 hours a week whereas their activity was connected with everyday routines (climbing the stairs, walking etc). The microcirculation was measured using Doppler laser flowmeter Perifluks 4001 (Perimed, Sweden). Rest flow, hyperaemic, hyperthermic and orthostatic reactivity of skin microcirculation and maximal minute oxygen uptake (VO2max), were evaluated. Apart from frequency, the signal power was also analyzed. Beside biological zero, all other measured parameters were statistically significant higher in the cyclists (RF-35,33 ± 3,25 PU; BZ-2,97 ± 0,24 PU; PORH MAX-150,67 ± 1 0,14 PU; TH MAX-278,94 ± 60,22 PU; OR-57,06 ± 3,1%, VO2max-66,11 ± 7,01 ml/kg/min), compared with the both group: weightlifters and control group (weightlifters: RF-16,01 ± 3,53 PU; BZ-3,0 ± 0,19 PU; PORH MAX-84,19 ± 19,46 PU; TH MAX 221,85 ± 91,57 PU; OR-43,68 ± 1,89%, VO2max-42,07 ± 3,63 ml/kg/min; control group: RF-15,58 ± 16,27 PU; BZ-2,81 ± 0,42 PU; PORH MAX-70,95 ± 24,48 PU; TH MAX 171,39 ± 32,18 PU; OR-42,36 ± 2,97%, VO2max-35,14 ± 8,65 ml/kg/min). The frequency analysis showed smaller oscillations of the sympathetic system and also in the cardiac frequency and increased activity of the endothelium in the cyclists. Conclusions: 1. Regular aerobic exercise has a beneficial impact on cutaneous microcirculation thus significantly improving the value of its parameters. 2. Regular force training merely alters the values of the cutaneous microcirculation indexes. 3. The impact of physical activity on cutaneous microcirculation requires further studies.
