Objective of the study is to assess the adequacy of delayed post-exercise recovery of total protein and albumin content in venous blood as criteria for the visceral protein pool in highly skilled canoeists and kayakers.
Methods and structure of the study. Generalization of literary sources substantiating the special importance of athletes consuming the required amount of proteins. Monitoring of hematocrit, total protein, albumin and hemoglobin concentration in venous blood in highly skilled canoeists and kayakers. 79 male athletes aged 18 to 37 years (20 HMS, 23 MSIC, 36 MS; 40 people were re-examined) were examined. Venous blood was collected in the morning, 40 hours after the end of the last training session. The blood test was conducted at the consultative and diagnostic center of the Research Institute-KKB No. 1 named after S.V. Ochapovsky (Krasnodar).
Results and conclusions. All analyzed parameters show reliable differences at hematocrit values ​​above and below 47%, which corresponds to the 75th centile of this parameter. The interval of average values ​​of total protein content in the range of ±1 σ is 69.62±3.86 g / l, that is, its upper values ​​​​(73.48 g / l) are significantly lower than the upper values ​​​​of the reference interval recommended for clinical practice (68-85 g / l). In 38.8% of measurements, the total protein content in athletes was below 69.62 g / l, of which in 29.3% of cases – below 65.76 g / l. In addition, four rowers had a total protein content below 69.62 g/l over 2 years, and two had a total protein content below 65.76 g/l. A certain relationship between the total protein content in the blood and the hemoglobin concentration was also established.
The results obtained allow us to conclude that highly skilled kayakers and canoeists may show a clear decrease in the visceral protein pool due to globulin fractions within the framework of ongoing monitoring, which may negatively affect the state of the immune system and the blood coagulation system, and to a certain extent contribute to a decrease in hemoglobin content and, in general, the effectiveness of the training process.

Keywords: kayaking and canoeing, highly skilled athletes, blood protein composition, relationship between indicators, risk factor.
