The effect of special exercises in reducing pauses during the push-up phases of the supine push-up The lifters have qualified for the Para Games in Paris

Abstract

 Abstract

  The study aimed to identify the pauses that occur during the performance of the lying push-up, its duration, and at any stage of the push-up among lifters who qualified for the Para Olympics in Paris, and to prepare special exercises that work to reduce these pauses so that the lift becomes successful, as the researcher used the experimental method in the style of the experimental group. One, and the research sample was chosen intentionally and they are (the weightlifters of the Iraqi team who qualified for the para for the Paris Olympics), and it consisted of (6) weightlifters, representing a percentage of (100%) of the research population, and the researcher used the 1RM test to raise pressure from lying down (Bench Press). In light of the results, the conclusions showed that lifters with small body mass have a pause in the first half of the push-up phase in the push-up from lying down, while lifters with medium body mass have a pause in the half-extension phase, and lifters with large body mass have a pause in the second half phase. The rates of development in the stopping period for all lifters were high, and they passed the failure period and their lifts became successful. The study presented a set of recommendations and proposals, including the use of special exercises prepared by the researcher to reduce the stopping periods in the push-up phases of the push-up from lying down.
