The effect of ballistic style exercises to develop the speed-distinguishing strength of the arms and legs and the achievement of the javelin throw for juniors

Abstract

Abstract

Chapter One (Introduction):

In the introduction the two researchers dealt with the nature of javelin throw and the special physical power required in it. The most important abilities required in this activity is the speed characterized power. The ballistic training is one of the modern styles in training that are used recently in developing the speed characterized power. Thus, the significance of the study lies in setting a group of ballistic exercises to develop speed characterized power for arms and legs and its impact on javelin achievement among young females. It is through the researchers' attention to the achievements of young female players in this activity, they concluded that using this type of ballistic exercises will contribute in the development of speed characterized force and, in turn, improving achievement.

Aims of the Study:

• Setting ballistic exercises to develop speed characterized force of arms and legs and javelin achievement of young females.
• Identifying the effect of ballistic exercises to develop speed characterized force of arms and legs and javelin achievement of young females.

Hypothesis:

• Ballistic exercises have positive effect on developing speed characterized force of arms and legs and javelin achievement of young females.

Scope of the Study:

• Human Scope: a sample of Diyala General Directorate of Education Team female players.
• Periodic Scope: the period of time from jan.1.2015 to April.15.2015.
• Spatial Scope: Diyala Stadium.

Chapter Two (Theoretical Studies):

The concepts and principles of (Ballistic Training), its significance, stages, its work and influence in addition to the concept of speed characterized force, javelin, technical phases of the game and previous literature.

Chapter Three (Methodology and Procedures):

The researchers delineated the experimental method in dealing with the sample of the study which is consisting of (5) female players who were deliberately selected. The researchers, then, started the pre-test for the study group followed by applying the approach that is comprising ballistic exercises on the experimental group of study for the period of (8) weeks, (3) training units per week. After being done with the training method, a post-test was made to identify differences.

Chapter Four (Results Analysis & Discussion):

In this chapter, results of the study are shown, analyzed and discussed in the light of the differences found between the pre and post tests. Results of the speed characterized force of arms and legs as well as players' achievements in javelin are shown. Afterwards, they were scientifically discussed depending on academic sources and references.

Chapter Five (Conclusions & Recommendations):

 In the light of the study results, the researchers figured out the following conclusions:

1. Ballistic training functioned to develop speed characterized force of arms and legs.
2. Ballistic training helped in improving javelin achievements among young female players.

Recommendations:

1. The necessity to use ballistic exercises to develop speed characterized power of arms and legs.
2. Adopting these exercises in activities that require body fly like (long jump, triple jump or high jump).
3. Making use of this study by the Iraqi Athletics Federation.
