Abstract: (296 Views)
Background. Smoking is a widespread negative phenomenon among university students, often driven by psychological pressure and social problems, increasing the likelihood of them smoking.
Objectives. The study aims to identify the percentage of cotinine in the body and its relationship with the level of achievement to Raise the Snatch for first-stage students.
Methods. Descriptive methods were used in the survey to study the research problem, dividing the sample into two groups: smokers and non-smokers. The sample was deliberately selected from first-stage students at the Faculty of Education. In the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, with 76 students from Classes D and E, the sample percentage was 23.75% out of 320 students, and a cotinine examination was conducted for the sample consisting of 70 students in the form of two groups, the first smokers and the second non-smokers.
Results. The study showed a direct and significant correlation between the variable percentage of cotinine in the body and the variable language. It turned out that the value of the Association of cotinine with achievement for the group of smokers is 0.068 and at a significant level of 0.699, is not significant, as the value of the Association of cotinine with achievement for the group of non-smokers appeared to us 0.9470 with a semantic level 0.000. The relationship is positive, although it did not meet the expected figures.
Conclusion. The study found that smokers had a weak correlation between cotinine variables and snatch lift achievement, while non-smokers had a positive correlation with snatch lift achievement. Smokers had been exposed to smoking for long periods, indicating a weak correlation between cotinine variables and snatch lift achievement. Non-smokers had a standard percentage of cotinine in urine, indicating a stronger correlation between cotinine variables and snatch lift achievement.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- This study pointed to many important observations that can be applied in the future, including conducting research similar to the percentage of nicotine in the blood and its relationship to the characteristic strength of speed and also conducting such research to be a deterrent to some smokers to quit smoking. The researcher also recommends conducting a cotinine examination for students before admission to the physical education and sports sciences faculties. It is a prerequisite for admission to non-smokers exclusively, raising students ' awareness to indicate the harms of smoking and urge to quit it and conducting a comprehensive examination to all students, whether within the College or university, despite the high cost of these tests, This motivates them and urges them to quit smoking, but important to identify the harms of smoking. Training programs must adopt strategies to encourage athletes to avoid smoking and adopt a healthy lifestyle to improve their performance. In addition, he conducted longitudinal prospective research studies to examine the long-term effects of smoking on sports performance for large samples and experimental and control groups.
