The effects of handball training on the some respiration and circulatory parameters of school boys aged 10-13 years

Abstract

20 students doing sports average age 12,65 ± 0,98 in the school team of Yunus Emre elementary school of Şanlıurfa and 16 students not doing any sports, average age 11,93 ± 0,57 are, voluntary involved in this study which aims to determine the effect of the training done by the students aged 10-13 in school teams on respiration and blood circulation sytems. The study group consisted of handballer who for at least 2 years had regularly undertaken 2 hours training per day at least 3 days per week . The control group was formed from of similar age who did no sports and led a normal life.

Groups Measures for age, height, weight, resting pulse measures, sistolic and diastolic blood pressure measures, vital capacity (VC) in respiration system, force vital capasity (FVC), Force expiration volume (FEV), and maximum desired ventilation (MVV)  values are measured.

The findings obtained were studied with SPSS 11.0 statistics programme on PC while the difference between the averages of groups were examined with independent t- test method in the meaningfull ranges from p<0,05 to p<0,01

The differences between groups in terms of age, height, weight and diastolic blood pressure valves are not significant (P>0,05).

Significant differences have been detected in resting pulse measures, sistolic blood pressure, valves (p<0,01), vital capacity, force vital capacity and force expiration volume valves, maximum desired ventilation of the group doing sports. (P<0,05)

In conclusion, resting pulse measures and blood pressure values of the students who do training in the school teams were found to be lower than those of the students not doing sports and the respiration values VC, FVC,  FEV1 and MVV  higher.
