The Effect of Hypoxia Training Using Special Masks on the Development of Some Physiological Variables and the Skillful Performance of Boxers with Weights (69-75)

Abstract

The scientific progress achieved in the field of sports has witnessed a remarkable development in various levels and most sports, achieving a qualitative leap in achieving great achievements in all sports. The developed countries have competed in finding the best methods and styles to develop the training process for the purpose of reaching advanced sites. Training in the hypoxia style is one of the important exercises using masks, especially since the use of the mask means the use of oxygen less than normal, so the body works twice during the breathing process in order to achieve the ultimate goal of improving the functional apparatus and athletic performance through adaptations that happen to the athlete’s body. The researchers used the two-group experimental approach. Experimental and control, as the two researchers identified a research community from Waist governorate clubs for the category of applicants. After performing the pre-tests (pulse test, hold breathing test, lactic acid measurement, and skill performance test) and applying the experimental method, post-tests were performed, the researchers concluded: 1-The development of functional abilities and skillful performance indicates that there is a positive effect of these masks used in the training of advanced boxers. 2-The exercises for using the mask contributed to the development of the functional abilities and the skillful performance of the experimental group.
