The effect of selected diet on some physiological characteristics of professional archers, women in luteal period

The purpose of this study is the investigate the effect of selected diet on some physiological characteristics of professional archer,s women in luteal period.For this purpose,20 women of Iran archery national team(compound and recurve)with difference levels(level A and level B) were selected.They were categorized into two groups(experimental and control group). The physical characteristics for experimental group were:age:26/3 ±2/36yr,weight:60/2 ±3/39kg,height:166/4 ±4/38cm and for controle group were:age:24/6 ± 2/12 yr,weight:61 ±4/92kg,height:165/9 ±4/33cm.All participants were asked to fill in questionnaire about their periods .furthermore, their heart beats,blood pressure and the Vo2max were measured in pre-test and after-test.For both test a record was taken from athletes.Participants had to shoot 36arrows to target with 122×122cm with distance a 70m. The sum of scores for each participants, With spss17 :Statistical analysis by using descriptive statistics,Levin test for confirming or refuting variance,t-student test for comparing the means of pre-test and after-test,independent t-student test for comparing the difference between experimental and control group.The result of this study shows that there are a meaningful relationship between the selected diet (include 50gr soy nuts and soy milk Everyday)and some physiological charctristics such as heart beats,blood pressure,Vo2max and also archers records(shooting36 arrows).To summarize the result of study proposed that a phytoestrogen diet can prevent the decrease of archers record in luteal period.
