Compound balance exercises and their effect on students' learning of the skill of layup

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in preparing compound exercises that contribute to developing some coordination abilities and teaching basic skills that enable students to control and master them, thus assisting physical education teachers in raising the level of performance and improving their teams and results, and contributing positively to the development of performance and motor duties. The problem of the research was summarized in the lack of educational training programs used in compound exercises that target balance in an integrated manner with the shooting skill, as the elements of fitness or skill are often trained separately. Hence, the need arose to adopt compound balance exercises that combine physical and skill aspects, with the aim of developing motor control and achieving more accurate and stable performance of the peaceful shooting skill among students. The objectives of the research were (preparing complex exercises for the ability to balance and its effect on learning the skill of the peaceful shot for first-year students at Al-Mustansiriya University / Department of Physical Education, and identifying complex exercises for the ability to balance and its effect on learning the skill of the peaceful shot in basketball for first-year students at Al-Mustansiriya University / Department of Physical Education). The researcher used the experimental method with two experimental and control groups to suit the research problem. The research community was a group of first-year students in Hall (1) with a number of (33) students. The research sample amounted to (20) students and they were divided into two groups (control) and (experimental) by lottery with (10) students for each group. (13) students were excluded for various reasons. The statistical package (spss.26) was used to process the results. The researcher reached conclusions including (that the proposed method, which includes the use of complex coordination exercises, has a positive effect on the study variables, and the emergence of development in the results of the post-test in coordination abilities (the ability to balance). As for the recommendations, they include (paying attention to developing coordination abilities and skills). Others among basketball players, and focus on training the player on coordination abilities and their various types in the presence of an opponent and under conditions similar to the player’s conditions)
