As for current parliamentary leadership activity, it revealed good performance (average 3.40) but was short of the desirable le

A popular recommendation for weight loss programs is to drink a lot of water. Only a small number of systematic researches have tackled this idea, though. The consequences of consuming an additional 2.25 liters of water per day on the body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat, and body composition of individuals who were obese were evaluated in this study. The goal is to assess how much water consumption affects an obese person's ability to lose weight and body fat. For 12 weeks, the 100 obese men in this study were told to drink 750 ml of water three times a day, 15 minutes before breakfast. The study used the body analysis system (GS6.5 B. S161118S1544). Body weight, body mass index, and body fat were measured before and after the s

           Shooting is considered one of the most fundamental and essential skills in handball, requiring a high degree of accuracy and motor coordination. Based on their teaching experience in the handball course, the researchers observed that some students possess adequate physical strength yet struggle with shooting accuracy. This raises questions regarding the factors influencing shooting performance, including motor coordination. Accordingly, the problem of the current study arises from the need to identify the relationship between the level of motor coordination and the accuracy of jump shooting among second-year handball students. The study aims to reveal the nature of this relationship. The researchers hypothesized that

An experimental design with two equivalent groups was employed. The sample consisted of twelve players from Al-Difa’a Al-Jawi Basketball Club, who were randomly assigned into an experimental group (n = 6) and a control group (n = 6). The experimental group followed a contrast training program for eight weeks, with three training sessions per week, while the control group continued their regular training program. The dependent variables included muscular power tests (vertical jump and seated medicine ball throw) and selected physiological indicators (resti

Exclusive drills are acknowledged as good strategies to build physical and tactical condition in players, since they represent gaming situations and are related to the correlation of the physical exercise with training. If these drills are devised for maximum oxygen consumption (VMA), players will be able to exert themselves at or near their competitive intensity and/or work load, which in turn helps develop specific endurance, speed, strength, agility and quick directional change abilities. The research problem arises from the weakness of such capabilities, that are evident in youth players (mainly slow transition between defense and offense, less precision under fatigue). Therefore, tacks were practiced during seven weeks in a

The study aimed to identify the effect of rehabilitation exercises on advanced athletes participating in sports activities who suffer from partial muscle tears in the shoulder joint. The researcher used the experimental method with a one-group design employing pre- and post-measurements, as it suited the nature of the study. The research population was intentionally selected from sports clubs and included athletes aged 20 years and above with partial shoulder muscle tears, while the main sample consisted of five players and an additional two players from the same population were used for the pilot study.

In sports where technical performance is crucial, quantitative analysis methods have evolved to track skill performance using modern training methods and technology. This helps trainers evaluate training methods and detect performance issues. Coaches and athletes know that preliminary movements improve attack accuracy, but the association between motions (strikes, presses, crushes) and target regions (torso, armed arm, head) has not been thoroughly investigated. Lack of studies on Paralympic fencing's targeted contact regions and ambiguity around the most common preliminary actions highlight the research problem. The study examined epee fencers' successful movement sequences in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games' final bouts and touch succe
