The Impact Of Compound Exercises Utilizing Intensity Concentration Techniques On Strength Development And Its Correlation With Shooting Accuracy In Young Handball Players

Abstract

Sports training constitutes a fundamental and essential aspect of the training process. Elevating athletic performance requires a foundation based on sound scientific principles and the development of interconnected and integrated training elements. Athletes cannot achieve advanced positions without integration in physical fitness elements. Therefore, focusing on sports training elements through physical preparation, a crucial stage for reaching higher levels, is essential. This stage relies on physical and motor qualities.

The current study seeks to investigate the effects of compound exercises combined with intensity concentration techniques on muscle strength and shooting accuracy in young handball players. The researcher used an experimental methodology with an experimental group (pre-test and post-test) that was appropriate for the nature of the research.

The research population comprised young players from the Sulaymaniyah Handball Club aged between 16 and 18 in Sulaymaniyah province. This choice was due to the availability of all experiment requirements, the researcher's ability to follow up with them, and the researcher's intention to address the issue present in this sample.

The researcher used a constrained purposive sampling method, and the research sample consisted of seven handball players registered with the Kurdistan Region Handball Federation in Sulaymaniyah Club.

Compound exercises with intensity concentration for strength showed a significant improvement in muscle strength training, particularly in muscle strength tests of the muscles used in handball shooting. This emphasizes the importance of incorporating compound exercises with intensity concentration for strength into the training programs of young handball players.
