The effect of endurance effort on some respiratory system variables of boxers

Lec. Dr. Amjad Mohammed Wahab Saleh — 2024-12-28

Boxing is a game that is characterized by physical qualities, including the element of endurance to reach the highest levels. Boxing has several advantages, whether in the case of attack or defense, in addition to its reliance on the basic movements of a person, such as normal standing, support, and the ready position, and being one of the fastest individual games due to the contact of two people with each other in a square-shaped ring. The boxer's performance is characterised by the strength and speed of the punches, which requires trainers to measure the physical qualities or elements during training seasons in order to ensure their continuous development. This can only be achieved through tests that measure these qualities for the boxer in all his categories during training or in the application of the exception. Hence, the importance of research lies in identifying the responses and adaptations that occur in some respiratory system variables in players through endurance tests that coaches resort to in particular periodically as (training-test) units through which the training condition is evaluated and developed. In addition to identifying the effects and physiological responses achieved by these tests in the respiratory system for the purpose of evaluating the functional efficiency of boxers, as this knowledge is the main goal of sports physiology as the science that aims to explore the direct and long-term effects caused by physical exercises on the functions of the various bodily systems.

The impact of information processing strategy to developing mental abilities and the most important scouting skills for students

م.م. محمد فتاح غني — 2024-12-28

The results of some research and studies have indicated that most learners have a superficial and external understanding of how their minds work and how to use information processing strategies and learning methods, which has led many to say that they do not invest their minds properly. This problem is almost general among students of the College of Physical Education in developing scouting skills. Even many other colleges are the result of facing different learning and study patterns that they were not used to previously in dealing with information. They bear great responsibility for their learning and adopt new strategies in dealing with information. Acquisition, storage, retrieval, and another problem is the weak ability to learn, train and achieve, not because of low intelligence, effort or lack of inclination, but because of the low level of their skills in organizing and processing information. Also, failure to remember, comprehend, perform and achieve success leads to loss of self-confidence, a feeling of weakness and doubt in the ability to perform well, as well as an exaggerated feeling of anxiety and fear. The weak ability of the learner to transfer what he has learned to practical life caught the attention of the researcher. Educational and psychological scientists agree that the role of learning must be to provide the learner with usable and applicable knowledge that requires processing information according to the needs generated when facing different situations in deduction, creating ideas, planning, facing difficult situations, which differ according to the thinking style of each individual, as well as the learner’s use of strategies that provide him with appropriate methods and help him in the situations he goes through, and then he learns well according to the method that suits his thinking and mental abilities.

Qualitative analysis of the effectiveness of the rotational weight push of one of the country's champions

Asst. Lec. Sameem Ahmed Younis Abdullah — 2024-12-28

Most coaches rely on simple self-observation or non-technical scientific observation in evaluating weight throwers. Their decision is based on their self-evaluation, which is somewhat flawed due to the speed of movement, its multiple stages and variables, and based on the progress achieved in the means of technical scientific observation and reliance on objective judgment (evaluation). The researcher found it necessary to use it in judging the level of technical performance. The research aims to identify the evaluation of technical performance by experts for the effectiveness of pushing the weight. And to identify some mechanical errors in performance. The researcher used the descriptive approach for its suitability and the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of one of the country’s champions in the weight-pushing activity. The researcher used devices and tools (one (1) Sony video camera, a computer, a standard tape, and a holder to fix the camera). A legal weight of (7.260 kg) was used, and content analysis of scientific sources, measurement, testing, technical scientific observation, and qualitative analysis were used as means of collecting data. The research experiment was filmed on Saturday, 3/6/2021, at exactly ten o’clock in the morning, at the throwing field in the College of Basic Education. If the camera is fixed on the basis of the transverse axis of the shooter’s body and the distance between the camera lens focus and the shooter’s shooting position is (10 m) and the height of the lens focus above the ground is (1.25) m. The performance evaluation form for the weight-pushing activity using the rotation method was designed and presented to a group of experts and specialists. The researcher concluded that rotation has the greatest impact on the achievement. The throwing phase has a significant impact on the achievement and is second only to rotation in terms of the experts’ analysis. Coverage and the readiness stance have the same evaluation in terms of importance in the experts’ evaluation.

Relationship between lordosis and kyphosis of advanced bodybuilders

Ahmed Abbas Hussein Al-Kroui — 2024-12-28

The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the postural system and the field that studies body posture known as postural science. Posture is known to be a set of interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the afferent and efferent pathways of the central nervous system, and its main role is to keep your body in a state of musculoskeletal balance and protect the supporting structures against damage or progressive deformity in humans. The body balances three physiological curvatures of the spine: cervical lordosis, anterior convex lumbar kyphosis, and anterior concave dorsal kyphosis. These curves are established and stabilized after about 5-6 years of foot proprioception maturation. The three curves maintain balance and support and resist longitudinal stresses (1-4). The most important of these is the lumbar lordosis, which is concave in the back and consists of 5 vertebrae starting from the sacrum. The thoracic curve consists of 12 vertebrae and forms an anterior depression called the kyphosis. 7 vertebrae of the cervical spine form the cervical lordosis in the posterior concavity (5, 6). Full development of postural function occurs at about 11 years of age and then remains stable until about 65 years of age. Spinal deviations are associated with various spinal diseases such as spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, specific lesions with acute and chronic characteristics, increased intradiscal pressure, viscoelastic deformity, and low back pain. A sagittal curvature outside the normal range results in decreased functional capacity and perceived quality of life. In addition, spinal curvature is associated with slow walking, poor balance, and a higher risk of falling. On the other hand, regular and consistent exercise can affect sagittal spinal curvature.
