Abstract
Background/Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of liquid losses occurring in training sessions during the competition period on some biochemical values of the male Judokas competing in the U18 category. Methods: The values of the 17 male athletes, who were included in the national team at least once, were checked in our study which compares the values of athletes before the competition and immediately after the competition. Urine Density, Urine pH, BUN, Creatine and Potassium values from the biochemistry values were measured besides the age, height and weight of the athletes participating in the study. Results: As a result of the measurements made; it was found that the kg pre-test averages of the participant athletes were 67,82 ±17,87, post-test averages were 64,88±16,89, Urine Density pre-test averages were 1.017,94 ±7,08, post-test averages were 1.025±8,48, Urine pH pre-test averages were 6,15±0,70, post-test averages were 5,82±0,50, BUN pre-test averages were 15,65±3,14, post-test averages were 24,35±3,60, Creatine pre-test averages were 0,48±0,20, post-test averages were 0,93±0,41, K Potassium pre-test averages were 4,16±0,35, post-test averages were 4,95 ±0,64. As a result of the statistical analysis, although there was no significant difference in urine pH pre-test and post-test values, statistically significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test values in other selected parameters (p <0,05). Conclusions: As a result; it is thought that in our country in which the adjustment of the weight class is made unconsciously and unplanned, this will lead to the health problems of the athletes in many ways, especially in the later ages. Particularly in the professional sense, the health problems, which athletes who enter weight competitions and who enter at least 10 international competitions in the Olympic sense for the Judo branch a year can experience in the later ages as a result of such exhaustion, should be well considered. The the significant differences in studies in the literature and in our work also indicate that acute and rapid dehydration causes athletes to be harmed in terms of health and leads to the loss of performance. The result of our study is that the athletes should be prompted for weight control in a planned way to prevent the adjusting weight by acute and excessive dehydration.
Highlights
The values of the 17 male athletes, who were included in the national team at least once, were checked in our study which compares the values of athletes before the competition and immediately after the competition
Measurements of height and weight of the athletes participating in the study, as well as measurements related to the Biochemical Values before and after the 21-day Competition Training period were summarized in the following tables
In this study conducted to investigate the effect of liquid loss caused by the training of male Judo athletes competing in the U18 category during the competition period on pre-test and post-test results, body weight (67,82 ±17,87 kg, 64,88±16,89 kg, respectively), Urine Density (1.017,94 ±7,08 mg/dl, 1.025,00±8,48 mg/ dl, respectively), Urine PH (6,15±0,70, 5,82±0,50, respectively), Bun (15,65±3,14 mg/dl, 24,35±3,60 mg/ dl, respectively), Creatine(0,48±0,20 mg/dl, 0,93±0,41 mg /dl, respectively), Potassium (4,16±0,35 mg/dl, 4,95 ±0,64 mg/dl, respectively) were detected
Summary
The values of the 17 male athletes, who were included in the national team at least once, were checked in our study which compares the values of athletes before the competition and immediately after the competition. As a result; it is thought that in our country in which the adjustment of the weight class is made unconsciously and unplanned, this will lead to the health problems of the athletes in many ways, especially in the later ages. In the professional sense, the health problems, which athletes who enter weight competitions and who enter at least 10 international competitions in the Olympic sense for the Judo branch a year can experience in the later ages as a result of such exhaustion, should be well considered. The level of quick thinking and interpretation plays an important role in preventing the opponent from making a successful tactical behavior or succeeding in his own tactic [2, 3] In sports such as Judo, the level of training, perception ability, experience as well as body weight are seen as. The fact that the methods used in the precompetition process do not adequately replace the loss of fluid in the body does reduce the performance, and causes serious health problems and even deaths in the athletes [10]
