The problem of optimizing the body's functional state under strenuous exercise is still the major problem of sport physiology. Physiotherapy based on natural and artificially created physical factors, has a significant physiological effect on the body and do not have side effects. Objective of the present study was to develop and test benefits of new transcranial electric stimulation, endomassage and magnetic field therapy to facilitate the post-injury rehabilitation in elite sports. The new model testing experiment showed benefits of the transcranial electric stimulation method for elite sports as verified by the growth of the cardiovascular and respiratory system functionality rates; faster rehabilitation of the cardiovascular system functions; phased rehabilitation of the mental and physical fitness; and effective prevention of the overstress and fatigue. The endomassage and magnetic field therapy were also found beneficial for elite sports as verified by the sample progress in the speed-strength and strength test indices; improved musculoskeletal and neuromuscular system functionality; phased rehabilitation and effective prevention of the fatigue-related injuries and intensive-work-related musculoskeletal system disorders; and post-injury rehabilitation with reduction of pains and faster recovery process.

Keywords: athletes, rehabilitation, recovery, trans-cranial electric stimulation, endomassage, magnetic therapy.
