تأثير حمام الثلج في القدرة اللاهوائية و استعادة الشفاء لدى لاعبي كرة السلة

Abstract EN

The research aims to: Identify the effect of ice-bath on anaerobic ability of basketball players.

Research hypothes: 1- There is statistically significant differences between the results of pre and post- tests for both experiment and control groups in physical tests and recovery of basketball players after ice-bath.

The researcher used the experimental approach which appropriates with the nature of the research.

The research population includes basketball players in Erbil Governorate, whom play within the clubs (Aso, Akkad, Qalaa, Hersh, Jehan) and included (60) players as a total number population.

The research sample was chosen from within population that numbered (12) players, at a rate of (20% ) of the total population.

The researcher used the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) to analyse the data and the following formulas were used: (average, standard deviation, difference coefficient, independent samples T-test, percentage, ANOVA, and equation for the least significant difference “LSD”).

Results: 1.

Ice bath developed the achievement of the following physical capabilities of basketball players (throwing medical ball, counter movement jump (vertical jump), transition speed 30 meters, agility) between the pre and post-tests of the experimental group.2.

A decrease in the lactic acid concentration when comparing pre-test (post-stress) and post-test (after ice bath) of the experimental group.
