The impact of precompetition state on athletic performance among track and field athletes using machine learning by Yuting Zhang, Pengyu Fu, Qi Yu, Qingmei Niu, Dongfeng Nie, Xiangya Dou, Xiaoqin Zhang

“…The detection rate of positive urinary occult blood in the BnP group was higher than that in the BP group (P < 0.05). (3) No significant differences were found in the daily dietary intake, energy consumption values, physical activity, sleep efficiency, real-time heart rate, real-time respiratory rate, and real-time heart rate variability between the intensive and reduced periods. (4) The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale score of the BnP group was significantly higher than that of the BP group (P < 0.05).ConclusionPrecompetition absolute basophil, LDH, TG, white blood cells, creatine kinase, fat mass in the left upper limb, erythrocyte pressure (HCT), and individual failure anxiety can be used as training monitoring indicators that focus on tracking athlete status before the race.…”
