The effectiveness of ballistic exercises in developing some biochemical and physiological indicators and aspects of strength in handball players

Abstract

t

The aim of the research is to identify:

• The effectiveness of ballistic exercises and the method used in developing some biochemical and physiological indicators and strengths among handball players.
• The differences between ballistic training and the method used in developing some biochemical and physiological indicators and strengths of handball players.

 The experimental method was used to suit the nature of the research, and the research sample was determined from handball players in Al-Karkh Club for the youth category. They were selected by a simple random method and were divided into two experimental and control groups. As for the research tool, it represented some biochemical and physiological variables and aspects of strength, and the availability of homogeneity and equivalence was confirmed. Between the two research groups in the research variables, the training program continued for a period of eight weeks, and after completing the implementation of the program and applying the post-tests, the data was collected and processed using appropriate statistical methods represented by the t-test for independent samples and correlated samples and extracting the effect size. A set of conclusions were reached, including:

• Members of the experimental group that trained according to ballistic exercises outperformed members of the control group that trained according to the method followed in all biochemical and physiological variables and aspects of strength except for the variables (sodium, phosphorus, heart rate at rest).

The study recommended emphasizing the use of the ballistic training method as better than the method used in developing the biochemical and physiological variables and strengths identified in the research.
