Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness  of ropes training the ability to the size of the left ventricle, and some physical variables, as well as to identify some skill variables for junior football in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq,

The use of experimental design with pre-dimensional measurement for two groups, one experimental and the other control, and  the research community was selected from the junior football at the Erbil Sports Club Academy in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and the sample was determined in a deliberate way on all the academy players and included (28) junior under 15 years, and after excluding (8) players for the exploratory experiment, the research sample was divided equally in a random way into the two groups and by (10) players for each group, and the researchers used the tests (left ventricular diameter in Diastole (LVDD), ventricular septal thickness (IVS), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LPW), left ventricular mass (volume) (LVM) as well as a training program was prepared with power ropes and after conducting the implementation of the experiment and obtaining data from pre- and post-tests, the researchers processed the data by a number of statistical means and by The researchers reached a number of conclusions, namely that the proposed program using power ropes leads to the development of the volume of the left ventricle, as well as to the improvement of some physical variables, and also contributed to improving the level of skill performance.
