التركيب الجسماني و المؤشرات الكيميائية و الحد الأقصى لاستهلاك الأكسجين لدى لاعبي الجري و السباحة لمسافات طويلة : دراسة مقارنة

Abstract EN

This study aimed to find out the differences in body composition, chemical indicators and maximum oxygen uptake measurements for runners and long distance swimmers.

The sample of the study consisted of (20) players, (10 runners) and (10 swimmers), age ranged between (18-25) years.

Athletes were selected from al-Yarmouk University.

The measurements of this study included (height, weight, body mass index (the skinfold of behind humerus, trciptal, suprailiac, chest, subscapular, thigh, and leg) and circumference of chest, thigh, leg, humerus, arm, wrist.

Chemical measurements were red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cholesterol, hemoglobin, hematocrit, glucose, thyroid hormones (T3, T4, TSH) and maximum oxygen uptake which has been measured through balke and storer test.

The results indicated significant differences for thigh and wrist circumference, some chemical vairables (Hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (HGB), (LDL), and red blood cells (RBC), suprailiac, subscapular skin fold, thigh skinfold).

However, the results did not indicatany significant deferences of the other chemical and physical measurements.

The researchers recommended that the benefits of this study can be applied for the preparation of similar studies.
