Abstract

This comparative study investigates the relationship between nutritional obesity, body mass index (BMI), and resting heart rate (RHR) among practicing and nonpracticing students at the University of Zakho. The research aimed to identify the correlation between BMI and variables such as weight, height, and resting pulse, as well as to determine if there are significant differences in BMI and RHR between practicing and nonpracticing students. The study employed a descriptive approach with a comparative method of correlational relationships, using a sample of 71 students from the Departments of Physical Education and Sports Sciences and General Psychology. Key findings include a strong positive correlation between BMI and body weight, a positive correlation between BMI and RHR, and a non-significant correlation between BMI and height. The study also revealed significantly higher mean BMI and RHR in the nonpracticing group compared to the practicing group. These results highlight the beneficial effects of regular physical activity on weight management, obesity prevention, and cardiovascular fitness. The insights gained from this study can inform the development of targeted interventions and health promotion strategies to address obesity-related concerns among university students.

Abstract

Background and Study Aim. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) plays a crucial role in modern football performance, particularly in youth development where proper assessment and monitoring can significantly impact long-term athletic potential. While laboratory-based measurements of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) are accurate, there is a need to validate practical field-based testing methods for youth players, especially in regions with unique environmental conditions like Iraqi Kurdistan. The present study investigated the relationship between CRF and VO2 ma among 16-year-old football players at Zakho Football Club.Material and Methods. The descriptive correlational method was employed to examine the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness CRF and VO2 max in 16-year-old junior football players. A random sample of twenty players was selected from a population of thirty-two players. The research utilized multiple assessment tools including the Cooper 12-minute test for CRF evaluation, heart rate monitoring through Garmin fēnix® 7 devices for measuring cardiovascular responses, and Cooper’s formula for VO2 max estimation. Testing procedures were standardized and conducted at Dalal Sports Stadium during evening sessions to minimize environmental effects. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients.Results. The results revealed varying levels of cardiorespiratory fitness among players, with the majority demonstrating above-average performance levels. Statistical analysis showed a strong positive correlation between Cooper test performance and VO2 max values, validating the effectiveness of field-based testing for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness in Junior players. Heart rate response patterns indicated diverse cardiovascular adaptations across performance levels, suggesting the need for individualized training approaches.Conclusion. The findings contribute to understanding the relationship between field-based fitness assessments and physiological responses in Junior football, particularly in regions with unique environmental conditions. This research provides practical insights for optimizing Junior football development programs while highlighting the importance of considering individual adaptation patterns in training design.

Abstract

Background. Endurance plays a crucial role in determining an athlete’s performance, especially in high-intensity sports such as volleyball, which requires repeated bursts of activity, rapid directional changes, and sustained physical effort. VO2max, an indicator of aerobic capacity, is a key factor influencing endurance levels. However, many volleyball clubs lack structured monitoring and training programs to optimize VO2max development.Objectives. This study aims to analyze the VO2max endurance levels of female volleyball athletes from the Nomen Nascio and Brojomusti clubs in Pontianak.Methods. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing a survey method with Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 as the primary instrument for measuring VO2max. The study involved 55 female volleyball athletes, consisting of 40 athletes from Nomen Nascio and 15 from Brojomusti. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to interpret the VO2max levels among participants.Results. The results indicated that 57.5% of Nomen Nascio athletes fell into the poor category, while only 10% were classified as good. In contrast, the Brojomusti club exhibited better endurance levels, with 40% categorized as good and 6.7% as excellent. The findings emphasize the need for targeted endurance training programs to improve VO2max, particularly for clubs with lower endurance levels.Conclusion. Coaches and sports practitioners can utilize these insights to design structured, sport-specific training regimens that enhance overall athletic performance and long-term player development. This study contributes to the field of sports science by providing empirical evidence on the endurance levels of female volleyball athletes and highlighting the disparities in VO2max between different clubs.
