The Relationship of Certain Physiological Indicators and Achievement Level in 800-meter Runners

Zahraa Saad Azzawi, Hamza Imad Hamza · Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research · 2026

Researchers measured a set of physiological markers in 15 randomly selected 800-meter runners from clubs in Babylon province and compared them with race performance. They found no significant relationship between the physiological variables measured and performance level.
Takeaway: Avoid relying on isolated physiological test numbers to predict 800 m race performance; judge progress from actual race and time-trial results.
Abstract (source)

This study

Aims: to define the relationship between specific physiological indicators and performance in various 800-meter races held by Babylon province clubs. The study is notable because it emphasizes physiological signs as an important factor in assessing sports performance and establishing individualized training plans for each athlete. The researcher used a descriptive approach via interrelationships, selecting 15 randomly selected runners from the research sample in order to conduct physiological measurements. The

Results: revealed no significant link between specific physiological variables and performance level. According to these

results, the researcher suggests: The researcher recommends investigating physiological signs in training programs to determine functional status. Carrying out further research to find and measure more physiological markers exclusive to different sports.
