The Effect of Tabata Style Exercises on the Development of Some Motor Abilities and Functional Indicators in Young Boxers

Abstract

The importance of the research can be achieved through the preparation of special exercises in the (Tabata) method, as the researchers believe that it will have an effect on motor abilities and functional indicators, as this training method improves the player's ability functionally and motorally, so the researchers wanted to go through this experiment, as for the research problem, the researchers noted that there is a noticeable decrease in the level of motor abilities and that the continuation of the match for long periods contributes significantly to that decline.  This, in turn, leads to a slowness in moving to take the right place during the performance of these skills, thus negatively reflecting on the team and losing many crucial points of the match, as for the purpose of the research, the research aims to identify the effect of special exercises in the Tabata style on the development of some motor abilities and functional indicators in young boxing players, as for the research methodology, the researchers used the experimental method because it fits with the nature of the research problem.   They also chose to design the method of the two equal groups (experimental and control) with the pre- and post-tests. As for the research population and sample, the research population was determined by the deliberate method, which are the (16) players of Dhi Qar  Club in Dhi Qar Governorate,  who are (16) players registered in the Iraqi Federation for the sports season 2024-2025, and the research sample was selected by simple random method (lottery), which is (12) players, as it was dividedinto equally for two groups (experimental and control) by simple random method (lottery). The most important conclusions were that the continuous training of special exercises applied in the (Tabata) method led to the development of some motor abilities and functional indicators. The most important recommendations  were that the researchers recommended paying attention to the use of special exercises in the (Tabata) method according to scientific training foundations to raise the efficiency of  anaerobic boxing  players during matches and competitions.
