The Effect of Special Training Exercises Similar To Performance In Developing Speed Endurance And Repetitive Abilities Of The University of Technology Handball Team Players

Abstract

Handball is a contemporary team sport that combines high physical performance with intricate techniques in a fast-paced environment with frequent shifts in playing positions. A single match demands frequent shifts between offense and defense, quick sprints over short distances, repeated leaps to kick or block the ball, and consistent physical interaction. Speed endurance is one of the most crucial of these components. It refers to the player's capacity to maintain quick motions for a specific period of time while minimizing fatigue and maximizing motor efficiency. Low speed endurance results in slower transition speeds, poorer defensive coverage, and less effective fast attacks during the game's crucial moments. Thus, enhancing this component helps sustain optimal performance throughout the game. The other aspect is repetitive capacity, which is a player's capacity to perform intense physical exertions repeatedly with little rest in between without experiencing a noticeable drop in performance. As a result, the research topic is answered by the question, "Does the proposed training program enhance handball players' speed endurance and repetition skills? " Determining how the training program influences the development of repetitive capacity and developing a recommended training plan to improve speed endurance are among the study's objectives. The study's sample consisted of 12 handball athletes. According to the results, The most significant findings were that there were statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests, with the post-tests yielding better results. In the variables of speed endurance and repetitive capacity among handball players, this indicates the effectiveness of the proposed training program in developing these two variables, as evidenced by the statistical values for speed endurance in the post-test compared to the pre-test. We note that the post-test mean for speed endurance (10.12) and the pre-test mean (9.15), which is evidence of the sample’s improvement. Similarly, repetitive capacity showed a clear improvement, as evidenced by the post-test mean (22.00), which was higher than the pre-test mean (20.11), and the results were statistically significant at the 0.02 and 0.03 levels
