Examination of oxygen saturation and heart rate levels of female freestyle wrestlers according to the physiological load created by the competition.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to investigate the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and heart rate (HR) levels of female freestyle wrestlers according to the physiological load created by the competition.

Methods

A total of 26 volunteer participants (mean age 11.54 ± 0.50 years, mean height 157.23 ± 8.91 cm, mean body weight 49.99 ± 12.51 kg, mean BMI 19.96 ± 3.22 kg/m²) were included. SpO₂ and HR were measured by digital pulse oximetry before and after the wrestling competition. The data were analysed via the IBM SPSS 21 package program. The normality of distributions and homogeneity of variances were determined via the Shapiro‒Wilks test. Descriptive statistics and dependent sample t tests were performed to compare the data of the participants. The signi
