Abstract

Research on college women’s football in the field of sports mainly focuses on macroscopic performance, with too much emphasis on the analysis of macroscopic sports performance and energy consumption, ignoring how mechanical forces indirectly affect athletes’ metabolic processes through the behavior of cells and tissues. This paper takes college women’s football players as the research object, combines biomechanical analysis at the cell and tissue level, and explores how mechanical forces indirectly change athletes’ metabolic processes by affecting cell and tissue behavior. Through multi-scale analysis, this paper studies how to reveal the transmission and conversion mechanism of mechanical effects in organisms from the molecular, cellular to tissue levels, thereby affecting overall metabolism and energy consumption. Taking mechanical force as the starting point, combined with biomechanical analysis at the cell and tissue levels, this paper systematically explores how mechanical force indirectly changes the metabolic process of athletes by affecting cell and tissue behavior. The study adopted a multi-scale analysis framework, from the molecular, cellular to tissue levels, to reveal the transmission and conversion mechanism of mechanical action in the organism, affecting the overall metabolism and energy consumption. Cell mechanics experiments and metabolic modeling, a comprehensive metabolism and energy consumption analysis model was constructed by combining single-molecule mechanics experiments, verifying the key role of high-intensity mechanical force in improving energy consumption efficiency. The experimental results show that compared with normal training, training under mechanical force intervention can effectively improve the training effect of college women’s football. This conclusion also has certain reference significance for other high-intensity athlete groups. Although the training intensity and physical response of different sports may vary, the same mechanical force intervention may also produce significant energy consumption effects in other types of sports. Under the high-intensity training mode, mechanical force intervention training can increase the maximum oxygen uptake, blood lactate concentration and muscle thickness by 6.2 percentage points, 33.9 percentage points and 7.2 percentage points respectively compared with training without mechanical force intervention. The research results provide support for cell and tissue level analysis in sports biomechanics research, as well as theoretical support for optimizing athlete training plans and sports rehabilitation, and reliable technical support for the integrated development of biomechanics and sports science.
