A master's thesis at University of Basrah examines the effect of skill exercises on improving metabolic flexibility and speed of performance in football.
A master's thesis at College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at University of Basrah discussed the effect of complex skill exercises on improving metabolic flexibility in terms of some biochemical and functional variables, energy expenditure and speed of performance in indoor football.
The thesis, presented by researcher Hussein Abdul Ghaffar Jawad, aims to prepare complex skill exercises according to energy systems and thus have an effect on improving blood sugar, insulin and cortisol hormones, triglycerides, and measuring energy expenditure to perform exercises according to the energy system, heart rate, number of breaths, and blood pressure (which are indicators that determine the extent of low or high metabolic flexibility, which negatively or positively affects the level of performance of players during their application of training units or competitions.
The thesis concluded that the differences between the pre-tests and measurements (before and after the effort) in metabolic flexibility in terms of chemical and functional variables in futsal players, as well as the differences between the post-tests and measurements (before and after implementing the experimental variable) in metabolic flexibility in terms of chemical and functional variables in futsal players.
