Maximum strength and speed training and its effect on developing some physical abilities of young handball players

Abstract

The research aims to:

Know the effect of training maximum strength and speed on fast strength represented by explosive strength and strength characterized by speed among young handball players.                                                            

    The researchers assumed: There are significant differences between the pre- and post-tests of the research variables represented by maximum strength, speed, explosive strength and strength characterized by speed.

   The researchers used the experimental method with a single-group design with a pre-test and post-test. The researchers used the statistical program (SPSS) to process the data and the law of the training effect size.

   The researchers concluded the following: Developing maximum strength and speed had a significant impact on developing explosive strength and speed for the research sample members, in addition to developing a complex physical trait indirectly by targeting the original components, which helps in developing it more quickly, and this is what the research results proved.                                                                  

   The researchers recommended the following: It is preferable to use this method during the general preparation period and then provide specialized training during the special preparation period to raise the level of explosive strength and speed in specialized activities whose performance depends on these two physical characteristics.
