BIO-PERIODICITY AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE FOOTBALL RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE STUDENT TEAMS DURING THE “UNIVERSITY SPRING” SPORT COMPETITION

Abstract
Biorhythms represent the biological parameters genetically determined and with the help of which we may define the general constitutional type and also based on which we may establish the elements characteristic to an individualized training, as well as the usage of particular recovery, psychological or other methods. The biorhythm conditions may tie break two sportsmen/ two teams equally valuable. By knowing the negative phases, especially the critical ones, the sportsman may overcome this drawback by adequate physiological training. The problematic of the biorhythms was not yet completely deciphered, so that both under-evaluating and over-evaluating are not beneficent to development, evolution, sportive or of a different nature. The approached problematic Any alternate unfolding of a phenomenon or process is called rhythm. Our whole Biology is dominated by rhythms, blood stream, breathing, brain activity ( the rhythms of the bio-currents sent out by the brain, the sleep-wake inter-change), the liver activity, the activity of the stomach and that of the intestines, the activity of the excretory apparatus, as well as that of the tissues, metabolism, endocrine secretion, blood composition etc. And because we are talking about living matter we do call it biorhythm. The biorhythm represents an anthropological indicator specific to the human organism. We may place the beginning of the biorhythmic studies during Hipocrate’s time, for he advised his students to mark their “ good”, as well as their “bad” days. H.Swoboda and W. Fliess may be considered as the fathers of the biorhythm theory, due to the fact that they have demonstrated the existence of the physical cycle of 23 days, as well as that of the emotional cycle of 28 days. A.Teltsdar later on proved the existence of the 33 days intellectual cycle. Quite recently, a 4th cycle has been illustrated, this fourth cycle of 38 days being that of the intuition. Ample studies underline the differences between parameters, function of the ascending or descending period, thus confirming the existence of these biorhythms, of these bio-neuro-physiological fields. The fortunate or unfortunate correlations ask for some preventing measures. Quite a lot of studies certify the connections in between the biorhythm and the sport performance. Though a skeptic, Professor Dr I.Dragan specifies that from a practical point of view, knowing the biorhythm is quite useful for optimizing the training process, and for the individualized psychological preparation. The purpose of the study: identifying possible correlations in between the sport efficiency- performance and the biorhythm of the students participating into the football competition. The study hypothesis: students will show a low level of efficiency during those days when games are planned and this overlaps with a critical day on the biorhythm graphic, this low efficiency being materialized in the final game score.
