Building a battery for tests of combinatorial abilities for some basic skills in futsal

Abstract

The research aims to: determine the combinatorial abilities of some basic skills in futsal for female players in Kurdistan clubs, and to reach a simple factorial structure for tests of the combinatorial abilities of some basic skills in futsal for female players in Kurdistan clubs, and to extract a battery of tests of combinatorial abilities specific to some basic skills in futsal for female players. The researchers used the descriptive approach using the correlational method and standard equations, and the research population was determined from the female players of Kurdistan futsal clubs for the Kurdistan Region clubs for the 2021-2022 season, and their number was (6) clubs, with a total of (70) female players. The research sample consisted of the sample of the first exploratory experiment. (10) female athletes. The main experiment was conducted by applying tests to the sample in order to reach accurate results in a way that serves the research. The researchers used the statistical method known as the ready-made statistical package (SSPS) and the Excel program. Several conclusions were reached, including the following:

   Factor analysis using orthogonal rotation, which was conducted on (15) tests of special combinatorial abilities, revealed five factors that were accepted in light of the conditions set for accepting the factor. The factors that emerged through the analysis of the candidate tests that were accepted and interpreted allow giving them the following names:

A- Determining the situation and changing direction / the first factor, B- Adapting to the change situation / the second factor

C - Position determination and motor response / the third factor. D - Change of direction and motor association / the fourth factor

• The special combinatorial abilities test battery was extracted in light of its factors extracted in this research, the units of which represent the highest ramifications of the factors, which are: A - Passing on moving targets to represent the first factor, B - Receiving with turning, then running, then aiming / to represent the second factor, C - Rolling. Then specific shooting / to represent the third factor - jumping and stability, then ball handling / to represent the fourth factor. The researchers recommended several recommendations, including the following: Adopting the extracted battery as an objective method for coaches to adopt in measuring special combinatorial abilities.
