Changes in the Physiological Processes During Training and Official Competitions in Young Karate Athletes / Promjene u fiziološkim procesima za vrijeme treninga i zvaničnih takmičenja kod mladih karatista

It was conducted functional and anthropological tests on a sample of ten male karate athletes aged between 15-18 years, with long training experience, and who are candidates for the National Team of the Republic of Macedonia. The research was conducted so that the dynamics and changes in the heart rate and blood lactate levels of the karate athletes can be determined during training and during official competition. The differences in the values of blood lactates and the heart rate which emerged during training and official competition are determined by using the T-test. The resulting values for the blood lactate level show a statistically significant difference during training and official competition in all measurements at the level p <0.00. The same conclusion applies to the heart rate values, where we can also register a statistically significant difference in the values gathered during training and during official competition (p <0.00) as well as after warm up and after the measurements in all three fights.
