Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of the competition period on the level of PH, lactic acid and glucose in the blood of competitive swimmers.

First, the research method: The researcher used the descriptive method for its suitability to the nature of the research and to achieve its objectives and test its hypotheses.

Second: The research sample: The research sample was selected intentionally from the swimmers registered at the First Gathering Youth Center and registered with the Egyptian Swimming Federation for the 2023-2024 season. Their number was (26) existing swimmers, based on the club and federation records. The researcher applied the conditions for conducting the research, which were as follows.

Conclusions
By presenting and discussing the research results, the researcher was able to reach the following conclusions:

1. There are positive indicators that high-intensity training leads to the development of levels of biochemical variables (sodium - potassium - calcium)

3. There is no effect of the competition period on diastolic pressure at rest

4. There is a correlation between the lactic acid variable and the potassium ratio The following physiological variables:
- Vital efficiency
- Pulse during rest during 10 seconds
- Pulse after effort during 10 seconds
- Recovery period
- Stroke volume during rest and after effort
- Cardiac output during rest and effort
- Cardiac index index during rest and effort
- Maximum oxygen consumption
- General physical efficiency, absolute and relative
