Effect of Tow recovery time Post-Competition Effort on number of physical variables for young basketball players

The aim of this study was to investigate the following:1_ The effect of competition effort on number of physical variables of young basketball players.2_The effect of two recovery time (8 &4 hours) post- competition effort on number of physical variables of young basketball players.A descriptive approach was used due to the nature of the study. The sample consisted of )10(homogeneous young basketball players from the Omal Nineveh Club. They were selected purposively to achieve the objectives of the study.Data and informations were collected using interviews, questionnaires, anthropometric measurements (height and weight), and basketball-specific physical tests: standing vertical jump test, 10-second push-up test, and 20-meter sprint test.The experiment was conducted on two separate days. On the first day, an eight hours recovery period was used after competitive effort. On the second day, a four hours recovery period was used.The following statistical methods were used: (mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Repeated Measurement, Bonferroni test, and normality test)Conclusions:1. competition effort leads to a slight decrease in the physical performance of young basketball players.2. Both 8-hour and 4-hour recovery periods post- competition effort are sufficient for some physical variables to return to resting values in young basketball players.
