Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship of Biochemical variable of the performance of long distance cycling. Fifteen state level long distance Cyclists (men) were selected among the cyclist who participated in Tamilnadu state Cycling Championship. The age group of subjects ranged between 18-24 years. The Biochemical variables are (1) Total serum cholesterol (2) Serum Triglycerides (3) High density Lipo protein (4) Low density lipoprotein (5) Blood Hemoglobin (6) Red blood cells (7) White blood cells. The performance of long Distance cyclists were taken by conducted time trial in the presence of coach, for 80Km. road race. In case of the Biochemical variables, the subjects fasting blood samples Were collected and tested following standard techniques by Pathological experts. The descriptive statistics in terms of mean, standard deviation, range, standard error Skewness and Kurtosis were employed to present the data on selected Biochemical Variables of long distance cyclists. This study conclude that significant negative Correlation were obtained for (1) blood hemoglobin (2) red blood corpuscles to long Distance cycling performance. The correlation coefficients obtained for total cholesterol, Serum, triglycerides, High density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein Cholesterol and white blood corpuscles were -0.08,-0.30, 0.01, -0.01 and -0.23 Respectively, which were not statistically significant.
