The effect of resistance training using the two methods (rigid - flexible) on some specific strength and functional variables of female players

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in the use of two training methods of different resistance (rigid and flexible) to develop muscular strength and functional variables due to its importance in their skill performance in all sports activities in order to reach a better level of achievement in the future. The problem of low muscular strength among female players is one of the important issues that must be solved appropriately. The researcher noticed through her modest experience and presence in some local tournaments that some players suffer from a low level (physical and physiological). The researcher deliberately selected the research sample from the players of the Diyala Education team, numbering (12 players) for the academic year (2024-2025). The most important conclusions are that the exercises used on the device with different resistances had a clear impact in developing the special strength of the players..
