Sadiq Jafar Sadiq
Keywords: Test design,  skill performance,  futsal

The problem of the study was that futsal suffers from some obstacles including the adoption of non-scientific means in performance evaluation depending completely on personal experience of the evaluator. This makes it lack accurate tests to determine levels of skill performance through measurements and tests. Accordingly, the problem of the study shows that there is no specific test to measure skill performance. Thus, there are no standard levels of this performance being an important means to determine the level of learners’ performance. This is to evaluate the extent of advance of learners or players in addition to evaluating weakness and strength points in the set educational or training courses. The researcher aimed to design for the test designed to evaluate skill performance level in futsal for students of the third stage of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science in Faculty of Basic Education and to identify standard levels of the test designed for skill performance of students in futsal subject. The researcher used the descriptive survey method on a sample of the third stage students in the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, morning period at the Faculty of Basic Education - Mustansiriya University, for the academic year (2014-2015 AD), totaling 87 students and formed a percentage of (72.5%) of the original research population. The researcher has reached several conclusions including the fact that the test designed by the researcher has proved its validity for measuring performance skills of futsal player. The researcher also recommended the use of the test designed to measure the skill performance of futsal players and adoption of grades and standard levels reached by the researcher during evaluating skill performance of third stage students in the futsal subject.

Said Lotfi • Soukyana Karyouh
Keywords: Physical exercise,  cognitive function,  working memory,  processing speed and perceptual reasoning

The aim of our study was to determine the effect of acute exercise on neurocognitive functions. 19 trained athletes, aged 20.68 ± 0.82 years, pursuing a program university sports for 3 years and been have evaluated at rest and after an intense physical exercise on cognitive tests: Working memory tests, processing speed tests, perceptual reasoning tests (Wechsler, Intelligence Scale Wechsler tests for Children, Fourth Edition [WISC-IV], 2003), and Rey complex figure test (RCFT). The results show that exercise increased slightly and significantly the performance specifically at the visuomotor coding-decoding system of 4.57%, perceptual skills of 15.45%, the spatial organization of objects 13.39%, and the visuospatial memory tasks of 15.41% (RCFT). The exercise affects positively but selectively on certain cognitive functions. The extension effects of exercise should not be generalized to all the functions. These findings suggest that physical exercise program should be a support of the cognitive enrichment of students.

Keywords: Effect,  Training,  Ball,  Tennis,  Counter-attack,  Skill

The world is currently witnessing a notable development in various aspects of life. All phenomena in the various fields were subject to scientific research as it is the best way to solve many problems. It becomes necessary for physical and sport education, being one of these fields, to keep up with this rapid progress by updating methods used in sport training to reach high levels at all sport activities in general and table tennis in particular. The problem of the study is that most international players are interested in training performance speed in attacking skills, counter-attacking skills with defensive skills in a balanced manner in the single training unit and comparing this with the level of Iraqi players. It was found that they are interested in training on attack and defense skills with limited focus on the speed of performing the counter-attack skill, which leads to lack good performance requirements. The study aims to design a training program using the ball throwing machine to develop performance speed and determine the effect of this program on counter-attack skill for table tennis players. As for hypotheses of the study, there are statistically significant differences between pre- and post-tests in the level of performance speed and counter-attack skill in favor of post-test of the control group, there are statistically significant differences between in favor of post-test of the empirical group, and there are statistically significant differences between the control and empirical groups in favor of post-test of the empirical group. As for human domain of the study, it is represented in table tennis juniors team in Dhuk Sporting Club (10 players) in the period from 15/11/2015 to 31/12/2015 in the table tennis court of Dhuk Sporting Club.

The researcher hopes that this work is a scientific simple addition. Hence, to understand the fact of women’s bodies and resistance to internal environmental conditions came the research problem, which is studying what happens to a women’s body during exposure to effort with different intensities to be subject to the anaerobic system and their effect of cardio-respiratory and muscular endurance with fitness practices of age 40-45 years old, and thus the return of good health to the practice of sport activity. The study aimed to identify the impact of the training curriculum, anaerobic cardio-respiratory, muscular endurance, and agility in a sample of the study. The researcher used the empirical method as it helps to solve the problem of the study and selected a sample of 10 female fitness practitioners and aged 40-45 years using the purposive method. The researcher concluded that anaerobic training has an effect on the research variables in post-tests more than pre-tests with different proportions. In addition, cardio-respiratory endurance is important to reduce fatigue through body adaptation after physical effort. Moreover, muscular endurance is affected by physical effort as well as agility according to training’s intensity, consistency, and duration requirements. The researcher recommended that sample of the study had to be subject to continuous examinations at the response to determine short- and long-term effects with continuous and periodical medical follow-up to ensure functionality of vital systems.

Keywords: Competitive training,  motor energy,  assertive behavior

This study aims to determine the effect of competition training on developing motor energy of some requirements of skill performance and its relation to the assertive behavior of handball players. Handball training should have suspense and competition to work on developing their performance levels. No doubt that this works to develop their motor energies. It is the term that is often circulated in dealing with sport practice for early ages as well as the youth. It is known that positive psychological atmosphere provided by sport practice in general and competition training affect physical abilities of the players. This leads to develop their internal energies represented in their motor energies reflected on their psychological characteristics during the performance. We selected the assertive behavior as one of the positive psychological characteristics that help players to develop the effectiveness of their fruitful performance. This motivated the researcher to study the relation of developing motor energy of players through competition training to increase their assertive behavior, which increases with the increase in the effectiveness of their physical abilities as the researcher believes. The sample was selected purposively consisting of 12 players from Diala Club Youth team to represent 75% of the population of the study represented in players of the specialist handball center who are 16 players. The study used the empirical method with the single group as it is appropriate to the objectives of the study. This method aims to collect facts and data about a certain phenomenon or situation with the attempt to explain these facts completely.
