Abstract
Design of testing to measure and evaluate the breathing muscles between the ribs "intercostals” Mahfoodh f. Hassan Objectives: 1- design of testing to measure the efficiency of respiratory intercostal muscle for athletes. 2- Building levels to assess the efficiency of intercostal muscle adaptation. 3- Find a relationship between the level of efficiency of the intercostals muscles and the number of times breathing. Search procedures: 1- Sample: (300) students from the College of Physical Education - University of Basra have formed the sample percentage (30.86%) of the population. 2- Tests and measurements: a- inhalation chest circumference. b- exhalation chest circumference c- Number the times of the breathing 3-The use of standard score standard and modified in the analysis of raw data. 4- Results were processing using the statistical program spss. v. 16. 5- Choose the length category (3 cm) to determine the categories of standard levels of efficiency of the muscles between the ribs. Conclusions: 1- The test, which was designed to testing the efficiency of the intercostals muscles led required purpose, was obsolete easy. 2- Normative levels reveal the level of efficiency of intercostals muscle according to the degree achieved in a functional test of the muscles between the ribs. 3- Revealed a high correlation between intercostals muscles efficiency and number the times of the breathing.
