THE RELATIONSHIP of PSYCHOLOGICAL TENSION with SOME CONCENTRATIONS of ANTIOXIDANTS among YOUNG HANDBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

The significant role of thisresearch is exhibited by the fact that it facilitates in revealing degrees of emotional stimulation and study of its relationship with antioxidants that work toremovethe free radicals causing fatigue for young handball players. The research idea was born out to study of the relationship of tension to the appearance of free radicals and therefore the impact of antioxidants on their role to delay the commencement of fatigue, also,through the workers knowledge of sports psychology fitness, andmonitored some of the local and international handball matches and their knowledge of recent scientific sources, they noticed that there is a obstacle hindering the athlete, so they decided to investigate this phenomenon through the following question: What is the relationshipbetween the stress andthe concentration of some antioxidants for young handball players? The research aims to identify the level of tension and the level of some antioxidants among young handball players, and to studythe relationship between the level of tension and the concentrations of some antioxidants among young handball players, and researchers suggests that there is no correlation between tension and the concentrations of some antioxidants among young handball players. The descriptive method (the survey and correlation method) was used on the group of the participants (108handball players)of the Middle and South Forat clubs, in the Youth League for the sports season 2018-2019were belonged to nine clubs are (South Oil, Amara, Samawah, Kut and Alan Surya, Al-Rafidain, Al-Najaf, Al-Hilla and Imam Al-Mutaqin. The investigatedwas selected by the players of Al-Najaf Sports Clubs in Al-Najaf Governorate and Al-Rafidain Sports Club in Al-Diwaniya Governorate. They are (20) players (10) for Al-Najaf Sports Club and (10) for Al-Rafidain Sports Club in a random way.The research determined a high level of some antioxidants, which are (selenium, vitamin C and vitamin E)in comparison with theirnormal level throughout exposure to emotional stimulation, and the presence of a significant correlation between stress and antioxidants (Se, C, E). The researchers recommended to adopt theresearch results by handball coaches to investigatethe psychological and physiological effects of handball players. Also, the results suggested tohave the food rich withconcentrations of antioxidants (Se, C, E) as the latter established as a defence system elements within the body in order to protect the cell membranes from free radicals as well as their protective effect in preserving cell membranes and tissues from injuries and diseasesthat might happen to athletes during periods of continuous training. Furthermore, recommended to perform similar studies by researchers to arrange and define standard levels of stress scores on individual and group games.
