Abstract

This research aims to identify the effect of anaerobic activity on some biochemical variables related to kidney function and on the digital performance levels in 50m and 100m freestyle swimming for female swimmers. The researcher used the experimental method with a one-group design that includes both pre- and post-measurements, as it suits the nature and objectives of the study. The research population consisted of fourth-year students majoring in swimming at the Faculty of Physical Education for Girls in El-Gezira, Helwan University, during the academic year 2021–2022. Their ages ranged between 20 and 22 years, and the total number was 14 students. The research sample was selected deliberately, consisting of 14 students, representing 100% of the study population for that academic year. They were divided as follows: 4 students participated in the pilot study from the same population but outside the main sample, and 10 students participated in the main experiment. Based on the research objectives and hypotheses, the adopted methodology, and the statistical treatments used, the researcher reached the following results: Anaerobic training through race distance segmentation led to a clear and significant improvement in all biochemical variables, particularly in the levels of protein, creatinine, nitrite, osmolality, and specific gravity. Additionally, the anaerobic training method involving segmented race distances resulted in a substantial improvement in the swimmers' digital performance levels.
