A Comparative Study on the Level of Troponin Enzyme and Some Motor Abilities of Young and Advanced Basketball Players

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of troponin enzyme and the level of some motor abilities of the research sample, as well as to compare between young and advanced players in the level of troponin enzyme and some motor abilities. While the research problem came through the researchers' knowledge of the sport of basketball and the importance of motor abilities, which is one of the important abilities in this sport as a result of the difficulty of its skills and its reliance on a set of motor abilities. It is known that the practice of sports training leads to physiological changes that include almost all internal systems of the body, and that the process of physiological adaptation and the response of the body's systems to perform physical load is carried out through a group of systems and organs in the body, the most important of which are enzymes and enzymatic action. The most prominent changes and functional responses of tissues that accompany physical activity can be identified in direct and indirect ways through the presence of changes in some of these enzymes. Due to the importance of the enzyme troponin and its role in contraction and diastole, the problem lies in knowing the extent to which the level of this enzyme changes and some of the motor abilities of young and advanced basketball players.The  researchers also concluded that all the values of functional indicators are within the normal limits. There are differences in troponin levels and motor abilities in favor of advanced players
