The Effect of Immersion in Hot and Cold Water after Swimming Performance (200 M) on Some Hormones that Help in Energy Production and Indications of Recovery

Abstract

The aim of the current study is to identify the Effect of Immersion in Cold and Hot Water on the Performance of (200m) Swimming on Some same hormones that help produce energy (thyroxin, cortisol) as Indicators of Recovery (creatine kinase, lactic acid, heart rate, glucose). The study was conducted on a sample of (8) swimmers from the tourist specialization course at Yarmouk University. And they were divided into two experimental groups, the first group (4) of players was flooded with a temperature of (20) degrees for (10) minutes. The second group, which numbered (4) players, was covered with a temperature of (40) degrees of (10) minutes, the body was completely submerged, except for the head. After swimming (200 m) for both groups. The medical team pulled blood samples before the effort and after the effort and after immersion. The results of the study indicated the presence of statistically significant differences At (0.05≥α) between the pre-and post-test on energy-producing hormones (cortisol, thyroxine) in swimming (200 m) for both groups, and the presence of statistically significant differences At (0.05≥α) between the pre and posttest on some hospitalization evidence (lactic acid, creatine kinase, pulse Heart) for both groups, The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between cold and hot water immersion on the hormones that help in energy production (cortisol and thyroxine) in swimming (200 m) after the effort, as the results showed the presence of statistically significant differences At (0.05≥α) between immersion in cold and hot water on some indications of hospitalization (lactic acid, heartbeat) in swimming (200 m) after immersion. These differences are attributed to the benefit of hot water.
