The effect of special exercises using an innovative device to developing motor response and learning the side punch and its defenses of boxing for students

Abstract

The thesis aimed to manufacture an innovative device to develop motor response and learn the side punch and its defenses, as well as to prepare exercises specific to the innovative device, as well as to identify the impact of the exercises specific to the innovative device on developing motor response and learning the side punch and its defenses for students. The researchers assumed that there is a positive effect of the exercises specific to the innovative device in developing Motor response and learning the side punch and its defenses. As for the research methodology, the researchers used the experimental method in the manner of two equal groups, control and experimental. The research population was determined by the students of the second stage in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Babylon, for the academic year (2023-2024), who numbered (125) students. The research sample included (40) students who were chosen randomly and were divided into two control and experimental groups with (20) students. For each group, the experimental group used exercises specific to the device, while the control group applied the method followed by the professor. The duration of the curriculum took (16) units and lasted for (2) months, with (2) two-week educational units. The researchers recommended the necessity of using tools and aids during the learning process, and ensuring special exercises to develop learning.
