MODERN ANATOMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF FASCIAL TISSUE

Abstract

Aim. To systematize the results of scientific research on the anatomy and physiology of fascial tissue for specialists in sports, physical education, and rehabilitation medicine, with the goal of enhan­cing the efficiency of their work. Materials and methods. This paper provides a comprehensive review of scientific publications by Russian and foreign authors in the field of fascial tissue anatomy and physiology, covering the period from the late 19th century to the present day. Results. Fascia, as the body's most extensive sensory organ, exhibits a continuous and boundless nature, encompassing and linking every muscle and organ without a distinct beginning or end. This extensive network forms a unified structure that permeates the entire body, playing a crucial role in maintaining overall health and function. There are many proprio­ceptors in the fascial structures that contribute to the development of the postural system. Pain receptors predominantly reside within the superficial fascial system. Being responsible for regulating the lumen of blood vessels and ensuring their mobility, impaired fascial mobility can lead to local circulatory disturbances. Fascial plasticity is influenced by various factors, including nutrition, hormone levels, the intensity of physical activity, and psycho-emotional state. Conclusion. Integrating procedures to restore compromised fascial mobility within both the musculoskeletal system and internal organs should be an integral component of sports training. Enhancing post-injury rehabilitation can be achieved by incorporating the diagnosis and correction of fascial disorders.
