ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of recovery heart rate after immediate exercise on performance of middle distance athletes. Seventeen (N=17) middle distance tribal athletes were selected purposively as subjects for this study who belonged from Dooars of Jalpaiguri district. Their age ranged from 18 to 22 years. Initially, pulse rate of athletes were recorded as resting heart rate. Performance level was measured through time in 1500mt. run. Recovery heart rate of athletes were measured in three phases. Immediate after finishing of 1500mt. run, pulse rate was measured as predictive maximum heart rate. During recovery period, pulse was counted for three times that was on 1-1:30 min., 2-2:30 min. and 3-3:30 min. respectively after completion of race. Relative change in heart rate was calculated as maximum heart rate minus heart rate in 1st phase or heart rate in 2nd phase divided by HRmax minus HRresting. To mark the association of performance level of tribal athletes with recovery heart rate, Pearson’s Product Moment correlation of coefficient was employed. No significant results were obtained in relation to recovery heart rate after exercise with performance of middle distance tribal athletes. Although a positive relationship was existed in each phases of recovery heart rate and performance of middle distance tribal athletes.

Key words : Recovery heart rate, Performance, Middle distance athletes.
