INVESTIGATE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE IRAN’S WOMEN NATIONAL FUTSAL TEAM AND COMPARE THEM WITH WOMEN’S FOOTBALL TEAM BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING, 2015

Exercising is considered a healthy way to gain, maintain, and improve one's health that not only improves individuals' physical health but also positively affects their mental health and causes the majority of the society to be happy and lively. The purpose of this study is to investigate the physiological changes of the Iran's women national futsal team and compare them with women's football team before and after training in 2015. The present semi-experimental interventional study conducted, at the first stage, on 15 members of women's national football team and 10 members of women's national futsal team in 2015. The number of inhale and exhale, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and body mass were recorded separately by treadmill during rest time. VO2max was determined by the treadmill, and according to the program that was given to the treadmill, when the athlete was at 50% VO2max, the treadmill stopped; then, the 5 parameters were measured at 0 and 30 minutes during the rest time. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS version 18 through using descriptive-analytical statistics and chi-squared statistical test (X2 test). The mean age of women football players was 26.53±2.2 years and that of futsal players was 26.11±2.33. The results of this study showed that changes in the number of inhale and exhale, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and body mass are similar in women football and futsal players before and after training. It is suggested to conduct further studies to investigate the effects of other sports fields on physiological changes. Keywords: Physiological Changes, Women National, Futsal, Football, Training, Iran
