The Effect of Explosive Strength Exercises for the Leg Muscles on Developing the Accuracy of Set-Piece Shooting Skill in Football Players

Abstract

The study includes an introduction highlighting the significant development in scientific research, which is considered one of the most prominent features of the modern era across various fields of life. Since football requires numerous physical attributes and technical skills that directly affect players’ performance on the field, one of the most important of these skills is the accuracy of shooting from set-pieces, which can significantly determine the outcome of a match.Successful execution of such shots primarily depends on the level of muscular strength. Therefore, the importance of this study lies in examining the impact of explosive strength exercises on the accuracy of set-piece shooting among the research sample in football. The research problem is defined as follows: Do explosive strength exercises for the leg muscles contribute to the development and improvement of shooting accuracy from set-pieces in football?:
- Designing proposed explosive strength exercises to develop the accuracy of set-piece shooting in football.

- Identifying the differences between the experimental and control groups in the post-tests of both explosive strength and shooting accuracy from set-pieces among the research sample.

The study employed a true experimental design involving pre- and post-tests for both experimental and control groups. Each group consisted of five players. A set of relevant tests was applied during the main experiment, and the statistical analysis was.
The researchers presented and discussed the results of the pre- and post-tests for both the control and experimental groups across the study variables. Furthermore, they analyzed the post-post comparisons between the two groups.

These results ultimately led to a set of conclusions and recommendations derived from the findings of the study.
