The effect of lactic metcon training to developing the special endurance and defensive follow-up capabilities of young basketball players

Abstract

The problem of the research was embodied in the presence of a weakness in personal endurance capabilities as a result of the lack of use of appropriate training methods in developing these capabilities, as raising the training level of any player cannot be improved, whether physical, skillful, or tactical, without following modern training techniques that suit the energy systems according to the specificity of the game. To develop and master defensive or offensive skills using purposeful, complex physical skill exercises characterized by high intensity and little rest, combining endurance, strength, and speed according to the specificity of the game, using methods that simulate the motor path of skills according to competitive playing conditions. Given this great importance of training methods aimed at developing personal endurance and their great role in developing defensive follow-up and deciding the result of the match, the researcher decided to delve into this study by applying a training method represented by (lactic metcon exercises) to give an accurate and clear approach to those concerned with sports to raise the level of These capabilities because its development helps in reaching the high level by improving the special endurance capabilities in the defensive follow-up performance that is required to be performed while playing for young basketball players. The research aims to prepare lactic metcon exercises to develop the special endurance and defensive follow-up of young basketball players. And identifying the effect of lactic metcon training on developing the endurance and defensive follow-up of young basketball players.
