The effect of two thermal conditions on the performance level and some physiological variables in 50-meter breaststroke swimming
Abstract
The research problem crystallized that swimming is practiced in both swimming pools and rivers, seas, and lakes. The temperatures vary across these places, as the ideal temperature for the air-conditioned pool is 25°C. In contrast, the temperature of the non-air-conditioned pools and the above-mentioned water bodies varies with weather conditions, as well as with increases in the water surface area and depth. Therefore, there must be differences in the effects of temperature across water environments. From these environments, we examine physiological variables and achievement levels during physical exertion. Through their exposure to numerous local and university swimming championships, the researchers developed the idea of studying these variables and the changes that result from temperature variations. The research aimed to identify differences in the level of achievement in swimming (50 meters) breaststroke between two temperatures and to identify differences in some physiological variables in swimming (50 meters) breaststroke between the two temperatures. The researchers assumed significant differences in the level of achievement in swimming (50 meters) breaststroke between the two temperatures, as well as substantial differences in some physiological variables in swimming (50 meters) breaststroke between the two temperatures. To test the hypotheses, the researchers used the comparative causal approach, as it is well-suited to the nature of the research. Tests, measurements, technical devices, and scientific sources were used to collect information. The researchers used the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and the t-test for related samples and the coefficient of variation as a statistical measure. The statistical package (SPSS) was used for statistically processing the data. The researchers concluded that there were significant differences in physiological variables and achievement levels in the 50-meter breaststroke. They recommended conducting similar studies that address other variables that may affect blood pressure, noting that training at low temperatures causes a greater increase in blood pressure
