The effect of complex exercises using added resistances relative to body parts on the explosive power and accuracy of long-distance shooting from high jumping for Baghdad Educational Team handball players

الملخص

            This study aimed to investigate the effect of complex resistance-based exercises on enhancing the explosive power of the arms and legs and improving the accuracy of long-range jump shots among basketball players. A single-group experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed, aligning with the research objectives. The population comprised 20 players from the First Al-Karkh Education Team, from which 8 were randomly selected for the main study, and 4 participated in an exploratory experiment. Homogeneity of the sample was confirmed for age, weight, and height, with skewness values within ±3. The training program, directly supervised by the researchers with assistance from the team coaches, lasted eight weeks during the special preparation phase preceding the competition, with three sessions per week, totaling 24 sessions. Post-tests were conducted after completing the program, and data were analyzed using SPSS, employing descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and paired-sample t-tests. Results indicated that complex exercises incorporating added resistance to specific body parts significantly enhanced the explosive power of the arms and legs and positively influenced the accuracy of long-range jump shots. The study concludes that integrating targeted resistance-based complex exercises can effectively improve both muscular explosiveness and technical shooting performance among basketball players, highlighting their importance in structured training programs aimed at optimizing athletic performance.
