JUGGLING TEST BATTERY

Keywords: soccer,  test,  skill,  technical,  juggling

Juggling is considered as a basic technical skill which is often ignored by soccer coaches. It provides players with the ability to control the ball after activities such as corners, free-kicks, goal-kicks, throw-ins, and crosses. Furthermore, juggling improves their coordination and balance abilities. Due to the fact that there is not any systematic study for juggling evaluation with gradual difficulty the current research project aims to develop a battery of juggling tests with increasing difficulty. In addition the researchers include movements which are similar to the game conditions such as zig zag, jumps and various body contacts. In the current study forty four players participated, twenty two of which were experienced soccer players and twenty two were recreational athletes. The results confirmed the reliability and validity of the tests. Furthermore, it was found that the difficulty of the tests was gradually increased when the researchers added limitations regarding time, distance, and contact surfaces.

Keywords: AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER,  PHYSICAL ACTIVITY,  BARRIERS

Introduction: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) engage in less physical activity (PA) compared to their typically developing peers. Purpose: Our aim was to explore the barriers to participation in physical activity for this group. Methods: The method applied in this study was qualitative in nature and the phenomenological approach was used. Data was collected by interviewing. “Purposeful sampling” method and “Criterion sampling” strategy were used. In this study, 15 parents from Jordan with identified criteria were selected and face to face interviews with open-ended questions were asked. "Descriptive analysis" and "content analysis" methods were used to analyze data. According to the results, 4 main themes emerged from data: 1. “Community” 2. “Institutional” with 3 sub themes: a. Specialization (coaches and centers), b. certified programs, c. cost; 3. “Environmental”, 4. “Family involvement”.

Keywords: Bio Kinematics,  Achievement,  free style,  swimming
This work aimed to elicitation the speed of swimming computing the time of performance divided on the distance.
Therefore, the speed meaning their achievement and thereafter understanding the relationship between kinematic variables and achievement that lead to final focused recommendations using descriptive method, samples of sixty students were selected intentionally from forth year, school of physical education, Duhok with good performance in swimming.
Scientific observation, questionnaire, test, analysis, and measurement were used for data collection, certification of the scientific observation was carried out by two camera one above and other under the water inside glass box closead tritely placed in front of the performance (10 m in the middle of race).
The best photos transferred to laptop for application Maxtraq program for kinetic analysis.
Results revealed non – significant correlation between some biokinetic variables with achievement i-e weakness of sampling technique. Free-style swimming requires body's extension through extending of hips which showed significant correlation with achievement. Comparable correlation of elbow with achievement means necessity of hand extension to pull more water. However, increasing of leg extension when the right arm enter the water lead to less resistance on the body. Once the right arm enter water, the left hand must gradually extending under water until approach to full extension beside the hip. Thus, inverse considerable correlation resulted between leaf forearm with horizontal line of body

THE EFFECT OF THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS DURING TENNIS PERFORMANCE ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN
Atef Rashad Hussein • Moushira Ibrahim El-Agamy
Keywords: different positions - tennis performance - vertebral column morphology
Research objective: Studying the vertebral column morphology in the thoracic , lumbar & sacral sections as well as identifying the incidence of scoliosis in tennis players.
Research Sample: 15 players from Sultan Qaboos University tennis Team were chosen by the selective method.
Research Methodology & Material :The Spinal Mouse device was used to evaluate the vertebra using descriptive methodology.
Research Procedure: Six tests in three positions (Standing ,Flexion and Extension) were done to simulate the physical performance of the sport.Statistical evaluation suitable for the study were used :mean, standard deviation, Spermann and Person correlation factors .
Research Results: A higher mean difference in the lumbar areas in the flexion position 48.73 degrees in comparison to the thoracic and sacral area. Meanwhile a higher mean difference for the thoracic and sacral area in the extension position 26.06 & 40.73 degrees consecutively confirmed by Spermann and Person correlation factors. There was no scoliosis in the sample.
Research Recommendation: Focusing on strengthening exercises of the abdominal and lower back muscles ensuring the efficacy and stability of the vertebral column.

Keywords: Basic Skills,  Swimming,  Level of Fear.

The study aimed to determine the impact of learning some basic swimming skills on the fear level degree among physical education students in Kadoorie University. To achieve this, the researcher followed the quasi-experimental method using a fear's questionnaire associated with learning to swim in order to measure the fear level degree in the aqueous medium. The simple randomly selected and included (67) male students registered for the swimming course (1), who have no previous experience in swimming. Results of the study showed that there is positive impact for learning the proposed basic swimming skills on the fear level degree in the aqueous medium, the fear level degree has reduced after learning basic swimming skills in terms of the arithmetic average of the fear level degree in pre measurement is (3.75) , but in post measurement is (1.63 ), the average difference between the two measurements pre and post was positive (2.11) which shows that learning basic swimming skills have positive effect in reducing of average fear degree among students. The researcher recommended using and learning the proposed basic swimming skills to help reduce the level of fear associated with aqueous medium, benefit from the student's self-confidence that resulting from learning swimming skills in improving the learning process and increase the effectiveness of swimming lessons in order to increase the swimming practices field.

Keywords: psychological-emotional,  basic futsal skills

The significance of the paper is in studying the variable (psychological-personal-emotional compatibility) as it is regraded of the factors which influence the nature of performance, acclimation and goals achievement in harmony with the reality of the society he lives in as well as the importance of the individual's self-apprehension and the ability to know the capabilities and potentials of the individual himself to be able to interact with the different bodily, skillful, and cognitive sides in compatibility with the behavior of the individual along with his activity and level of performance. The researchers adopted the descriptive approach of associative relations. The scale is adopted to (70) players representing (53.84%) of the total study society. While the final scale is applied to (50) players representing (38.46%) of the original society. In this way, the adaptation sample and final scale sample of (120) players in a ratio of (92.30%) of the original society. The level of sportive psychological-personal-emotional compatibility was good in the sample of the study. Any improvement in the level of sportive psychological-personal-emotional compatibility will lead to a development in the skillful performance and vice versa. This encourages other researchers to work on similar studies dealing with other skills, other sports and different samples in various study levels even in terms of the gender of learners.
