Abstract

With the growing interest in extracurricular activities within higher education institutions, it has become essential to analyze and assess the efficiency of sports activity departments in organizing university championships. This can be achieved by examining the perspectives of those working in this field, as they are the most qualified to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the organizational system. Organizational efficiency represents a central element in this context. In recent years, noticeable variation has been observed in the levels of an organization from one championship to another, indicating discrepancies in management and planning approaches, as well as in the preparedness of the human resources responsible for sports activities. This prompted the researcher to identify the problem and purpose of the study: to evaluate the level of organizational efficiency in managing university sports championships from the perspective of sports activity staff. The analytical descriptive method was adopted, and the research population was intentionally selected, consisting of sports activity staff at Iraqi universities. The researcher employed a questionnaire as the main tool to study the phenomenon—namely, organizational efficiency. The study concluded that administrative organization and organizational planning received the highest evaluations among the assessed areas, indicating the presence of a solid administrative and structural foundation. The researcher recommended strengthening communication and coordination aspects through the establishment of effective communication channels and scheduling regular meetings between committees.

Abstract

Sports injuries are considered a significant issue for athletes in general and for individuals with disabilities in particular, as they represent a major factor affecting the physical performance of disabled individuals who engage in sports and physical activities. People with disabilities already experience limitations and reduced mobility due to their impairments, which increases their risk of injury during physical activity, whether from improper movements or actions that exceed their natural physical capacity. One common injury among wheelchair users in various sports is lower back pain, characterized by the onset of pain and limited mobility in the lumbar region. This condition can impede athletic performance, leading to temporary cessation of sports activities until the pain subsides. Recurrent episodes may result in complications or more severe injuries. Even minor lower back pain, if not addressed with appropriate medical and therapeutic measures, can develop into a serious condition. Through a review of existing literature, the researcher observed that current rehabilitation and treatment programs for lower back injuries may not adequately meet the specific needs of individuals with disabilities. Therefore, the researcher designed a set of exercises tailored to the physical capabilities of wheelchair users, incorporating the programmed spinal traction device (DRX9000) and additional assistive tools, under the supervision of a specialized orthopedic physician and physiotherapy experts.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the state of strategic renewal practices among decision-makers at the Ministry of Youth and Sports from the perspective of its employees. It also sought to examine the relationship between these practices and the effectiveness of operational performance. Methodology: The research adopted a descriptive-analytical method. A specially designed questionnaire, which measured four dimensions of strategic renewal, was administered to a stratified random sample of 150 employees. The instrument's validity and reliability were verified using factor analysis and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The data were then analyzed using SPSS software. Findings: The results showed that employees hold positive perceptions of strategic renewal practices, and that all four dimensions, strategic awareness, participation, change management, and continuous evaluation, are implemented at a high level. The study also revealed strong positive correlations among these dimensions, confirming that they function as an integrated system. Discussion: The findings support existing literature, which emphasizes that strategic renewal is essential for the public sector and that employee participation in this process reduces resistance to change. The results suggest the ministry has moved beyond traditional administrative inertia and has a solid foundation for continuous improvement. Conclusion: The research concludes that the Ministry of Youth and Sports has taken significant steps toward adopting strategic renewal. The key to sustainable success lies in enhancing strategic awareness and expanding employee participation. The study recommends leveraging these positive findings to build future action plans based on continuous evaluation and innovation.

Abstract

Motor response speed is one of the basic abilities that determine a player's proficiency in table tennis, as the nature of the game requires quick decision-making and reaction in rapidly changing situations. This research aims to design a training program using a short ball and analyze its impact on developing motor response speed among youth table tennis players (17–19 years old). The researcher adopted an experimental approach using a single-group approach with pre- and post-tests. The sample included 12 players from a youth league club. The training program was implemented over eight weeks, with three sessions per week. Field-approved response speed tests were used, in addition to video recording and analysis of performance. The training sessions included exercises based on the use of a short ball in various positions and rapidly changing scenarios, with the aim of stimulating the motor nervous system to respond immediately. The results showed a significant improvement in the post-test results compared to the pre-test results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed training program. The research highlights the importance of customizing training programs according to the specificity of the targeted skill and the nature of the competitive situation, and recommends implementing the program in youth training centers to develop response speed skills. The researcher also recommends conducting future studies on different age groups and incorporating new training methods such as virtual reality to enhance training effectiveness.

Abstract

The research aims to identify the impact of using the personal learning strategy on improving the performance efficiency of advanced female guides in fire-lighting and extinguishing skills. The researcher adopted the experimental approach due to its suitability to the nature of the research. The sample was selected from the guidance group for sports and scouting activities in Diyala Governorate, and numbered (24) advanced female guides. They were divided into two equal groups: one experimental group trained according to the personal learning strategy, and the other a control group that received training using the traditional method. Practical tests were used to measure the level of performance in the skills of fire-lighting and extinguishing. After statistically processing the data, the results showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group, indicating the effectiveness of the personal learning strategy in developing the skill performance of advanced female guides. The research concludes that adopting modern educational strategies contributes to improving performance efficiency and developing scouting skills. The researcher recommends employing this strategy in various guidance training programs.

Abstract

This research aims to design a scientific test to measure the on-field decision-making speed of youth football players using real, illustrated playing situations (photos and video clips). The research adopted a descriptive-experimental approach, and (30) youth players from Anbar Governorate, aged between 18 and 21, with at least three years of coaching experience, participated in it. A test was designed that included (12) illustrated playing situations taken from official matches, depicting offensive and defensive situations requiring immediate decisions. These were displayed on a large screen within a structured testing environment. Response times for each situation were determined in seconds, and decisions were recorded by having players select one of several options associated with each situation. The validity of the test was verified by presenting it to a group of experts, and reliability was calculated using a test-retest. The results showed a statistically significant correlation coefficient. The results showed that players in offensive positions were faster in making decisions than their defensive colleagues, reflecting differences in mental processing speed depending on the tactical tasks. The study concludes that the video test can be used as an objective and practical tool to assess players' field intelligence. It can also be used in player selection and the design of cognitive training programs aimed at improving decision-making speed under pressure. The study recommends developing interactive digital versions of the test and using them to assess the development of mental performance during various training phases.

Abstract

This article attempts to investigate how to enhance the psychological aspects of newly recruited futsal referees by analyzing common psychological barriers, such as anxiety, a loss of self-confidence, and pressures of making decisions. A descriptive analytical research technique was adopted, utilizing both a questionnaire and interviews administered with a group of new referees who are inexperienced. The findings revealed a significant psychological impact on referees' performances and indicated how current programs of training often ignore this critical issue. The article encourages a blending of psychological training into referees' development programs for enhancement of both performance and self-confidence.
