A Comparative Study of Blood Lactate Concentrations and Heart Rate after the Match for the Disability Challenger in Table Tennis

Abstract

Biochemical and physiological variables are among the essential scientific basics that the coach must measure
in training. The research problem’s importance deals with detecting the effect of the match on the functional
state through the concentration of lactate salts in the blood and the pulse rate—the research problem centred
on the disparity in physical fitness and the appearance of signs of fatigue. With the handicapping challenge
after the match and the research aims to identify the concentration ratios of blood lactate salts and the heart
rate of the disability challengers after the matches in the Paralympic Committee for the governorates of
Najaf and Diwaniyah. The researchers hypothesized that there were significant differences between the
concentration ratios of lactate salts and the heart rate between the first and second groups and in favour
of the first group. The researchers used the descriptive approach using the method of comparative studies.
Players were all chosen by the comprehensive inventory method to represent the research sample. They were
divided into two groups, the first representing the Paralympic Committee players for the province of Najaf
and the second representing the Paralympic Committee players for the province of Diwaniyah.
