The effect of dual-task training on explosive ability and some complex skills for handball juniors 14-16 years old

Abstract

Through the experience of researchers in the field of the game and their observation of field exercises, they noticed that the training is characterized by simplicity and the majority of exercises include one task and a specific motor task, which makes the level of performance and the physical and technical characteristics of the players not consistent with the requirements of matches in the game of handball, which is characterized by dynamic events in addition to the technical tasks. And the simultaneous and sequential tactics required to excel in matches, which is why the researchers decided to use dual-task exercises as a modern training method to complicate the training loads for the purpose of developing explosive ability and complex skill performance in the game of handball. The objectives of the research were to prepare dual-tasking exercises for handball players aged 14-16 years and to know the effect of dual-tasking exercises on explosive ability and some complex skills among handball players aged 14-16 years. The researchers used the experimental method by designing (experimental and control groups) with a pre- and post-test to suit the nature and problem of the research. The research population was determined by the emerging handball players in the Karbala Sports Club, who numbered (28) players, who were divided into two experimental and control groups, the strength of each group being (14) players.
