The Effect of Dıfferent Rest Perıods on Blood Lactate Levels Durıng Cırcuıt Traınıng

Abstract

Aim: Circular training is thought to have a motivating feature by distracting the individual from routine and boring training practices with different exercise methods. In this context, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different rest periods applied during circular training on blood lactate levels. Method: The pretest-posttest model was used in the study. The sample of the study consisted of 24 (Xage =20,00±1,79; Xheight =171,75 ± 6,22; Xweight =75,01± 6,39) volunteer male basketball athletes. Lactate measurements were taken before, during and after circular training with different rest periods. The data was analyzed in the SPSS 24.0 package program, with a 95% confidence interval and a 0.05 significance level, and normality analysis was performed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Since the data were not normally distributed, nonparametric tests were applied. The change in heart rate averages and lactate levels of the research group according to resting times were evaluated by Wilcoxon Test. Results: In general, it was determined that the circular training program with different rest intervals caused significant differences in the measurement parameters (Heart Rate, and Lactate) of the participants (p<0.05). It was observed that the average heart rate and lactate values reached during training decreased as the rest period of the research group increased. On the other hand, the effects of long-term circular training programs with different rest intervals on aerobic-anaerobic energy metabolism will contribute to the literature.
