The Effect of Exercises (Physical-Skill) with Added Weights of the Arms and Legs on Improving the Explosive Power and Accuracy of Handball Shooting Skill for Young Players

Abstract

The current research aims to prepare exercises (physical-skill) with added weights for the arms and legs and to know their effect on improving the explosive power and accuracy of the skill of shooting in handball for young players.

To achieve this goal , the researchers used the experimental method and the design of the two equal groups in order to suit the nature of the research problem.

    As for the research community, it was represented by the players of Al-Salman Club in handball for the sports season 2024-2025. The number of players reached (14) players who were distributed into two groups with (7) players for each group.

 Then the researchers determined the research variables, which were (the explosive power of the arms, the explosive power of the legs, the accuracy of the handball aim) and then they started applying the pre-tests to the research sample, and then they performed homogeneity and parity in order to make the two research groups on the same starting point, and then they started applying the skill physical exercises with added weights, which were applied for 8 weeks at a rate of three units per week, as  the exercises were applied on  (Saturday,  and Monday and Wednesday) of each week  with (24) units using the high-intensity interval training method with an intensity ranging from (80-95)%, as the added weights were placed in the arm weighing half a kilo as well as in the legs, and after the completion of the exercise application period, he started the post-tests and collected the statement, he used the statistical program (SPSS) for the purpose of analyzing the results, and accordingly, the researcher concluded that the exercises (physical) The added weights of the arms and legs prepared by the researcher contributed to the development of the explosive power of the arms and legs, as well as to the improvement of the shooting skill of jumping with a handball.
