Abstract | ||||
this research aims to identify some physiological changes associated with fasting Ramadan and their effect on the physical changes for 21 junior throw athletes; boys and girls during fasting Monday of the fourth week of Ramadan (20th Ramadan 1431). A group of physiological, physical, and neural measurements were taken for the research sample individuals (blood sugar accumulation rate / urine acetone rate / simple reaction time / reaction time consistency / Functional efficiency of the nervous system / throwing (3k – 4k- 5k) medical balls in front and behind the body / throwing distance from a still position and moving with legal tools / sprints time for 10m x 4 / running time for 40m ) distributed on 4 periods during the day starting from 12 pm till 6 pm (with fixed time breaks; i.e., every 2 hours) The most important results were as follows: Not using fats as an energy production source for competitors during fasting Ramadan day– there are some differences in the blood sugar accumulation rate measurements - the lack of meaningful differences for each of these measurements ( reaction - reaction consistency – Functional efficiency of the nervous system) and the speed measurements and still and moving throwing measurements which proves that there are no effective physiological changes associated with fasting different from the previous measurements of the research sample individuals. | ||||
