Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine how functional strength (FST) training over 12 weeks influenced injured young competitive athletes’ dynamic balance, agility, and incidence of injury. The project used 40 young competitive athletes (mean age = 15.3±1.2 years) as participants and was designed as a randomized controlled trial with 20 in the experimental FST group and 20 in the active control (AC) group. Balance was measured by the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) composite score; agility was measured with the Illinois Agility Test (IAT) time; and the number of injuries suffered per 1000 athlete exposures (AE) was used to determine how each group differed regarding incidence of injury. Other measures included the 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) back squat for lower-body strength, joint position sense (JPS) for proprioceptive acuity, and the composite score of the Functional Movement Screen test (FMS) for quality of movement. Compared to Control an FST condition had much larger impact on SEBT composite scores (Delta 13.4% vs 4.4%: p<.001; d=2.04) and IAT (Delta 11.3% vs 4.7%: p<.001; d=1.58) as well as Injuries (Delta -60.4% vs -23.4%: p<.001; d=1.87). With all between-group effect sizes being considered large, the data strongly supports the use of FST in early phases of injury prevention and performance enhancement for youth athletes.

Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common and serious musculoskeletal injuries in football, due to their negative impact on players’ health, the continuity of their sporting careers, and individual and team performance levels. Three-dimensional biomechanical analysis is an objective and accurate tool for identifying movement patterns associated with an increased risk of injury, particularly those that are difficult to observe or assess effectively using traditional two-dimensional analysis methods. The study aimed to determine the three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the lower limbs during the performance of high-risk movement tasks similar to those required in football among players from three clubs in the Iraqi Premier League, as well as to compare biomechanical risk indicators between the clubs and to reveal the relationship between specific movement patterns and the composite risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was employed. The study sample comprised sixty male football players, with twenty players from each of the Al-Samarra, Al-Alam and Al-Dour clubs. Data were collected using the VICON Nexus 3D motion capture system, comprising 12 cameras at 200 Hz, two Kistler force plates at 1000 Hz, and the Noraxon Ultium system for measuring electromyography (EMG) at 2000 Hz. The players performed three standardised movement tasks: a 45-degree cut on one leg, a two-foot landing after a jump, and a 180-degree turn. The main variables included the maximum internal knee varus angle, peak ground reaction force, lower limb joint flexion angles at the moment of first contact, and the joint muscle contraction index. The results showed statistically significant differences between the clubs in knee varus angle, with an F-value of F(2,57) = 8.34, a significance level of p = 001., and an effect size of η² = .226, as well as in peak ground reaction force (F(2,57) = 6.21, p = 00.3, η² = 179.) and in knee flexion angle (F(2,57) = 7.85, p = 00.1, η² = 216.). The knee varus angle also showed the strongest correlation with the composite risk score for anterior cruciate ligament injury, with a correlation coefficient of r = 82. at a significance level of p < .001. Group analysis revealed two distinct risk profiles: the first was a high-risk biomechanical profile, characterised by a marked increase in knee varus and a reduced knee flexion angle; the second was a low-risk profile, characterised by a better degree of protective co-contraction. IIraqi footballers in the clubs included in the study exhibited biomechanical patterns associated with an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury whilst performing football-specific motor tasks. Differences between clubs suggest that risk indicators may be influenced by multiple factors, including the nature of training programmes, pitch surface characteristics, and the level of strength training and neuromuscular control. The study’s findings underscore the importance of implementing targeted preventive programmes to reduce ACL injuries in Iraqi football clubs.

Abstract

The present study aimed to identify the reality of coaching behaviours among youth football academy coaches in the city of Samarra using the Coaching Behaviour Analysis System (CBAS) developed by Smith et al (1977), as one of the standardised scientific systems for analysing coaching behaviour within sporting environments. The researcher adopted a descriptive approach using structured observation. The research sample consisted of eight coaches working at private football academies in the city of Samarra. Two training sessions were filmed for each coach, totalling 16 training sessions, with each session lasting 40 minutes. The study used three high-resolution digital cameras to document the training sessions, after which the coaching behaviours were analysed according to the behavioural categories adopted in the CBAS system. A 5-second time interval was adopted during the behavioural coding process, after which the data was organised and analysed using frequencies, percentages and Z-scores to identify the polarity and trends of the behaviours. The results also showed that the general technical instructions category recorded the highest frequency of occurrence among training behaviours, followed by the organisation and management category, indicating that trainers focused heavily on technical and organisational aspects during the training sessions. The results also showed a relative increase in positive reinforcement and general encouragement behaviours, compared to a clear decrease in punitive and negative behaviours such as punishment, punitive instructions and ignoring mistakes. The study concluded that the training environment within football academies in the city of Samarra tends towards the use of supportive and positive coaching behaviours rather than negative and punitive ones. The study recommended the need to employ standardised behavioural observation systems in the assessment of coaching performance, as well as the development of training programmes for age-group coaches, thereby contributing to improving the quality of coaching interaction within sports academies.

Abstract

        The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between trunk muscle strength and lower back pain among boxers in Baghdad clubs, by measuring trunk muscle strength, assessing the level of lower back pain in the study sample, and identifying the nature of the correlation between the two variables. The researcher employed a descriptive approach using correlational methods, as this was appropriate to the nature and objectives of the study. The study population consisted of boxers officially registered with clubs in Baghdad and affiliated with the Iraqi Boxing Federation. The research sample was selected using a purposive sampling method and comprised eight boxers aged between 18 and 35 with at least two years’ training experience. The researcher used a series of physical tests to measure trunk muscle efficiency, namely: the forward trunk stability test, the lateral trunk stability test and the Bering-Sørensen test, as well as the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a specific questionnaire to record low back pain. After collecting and statistically analysing the data using the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, percentage and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the results showed that 87.5% of the sample had reduced trunk muscle efficiency compared to the levels recommended for athletes. It was also observed that 87.5% of the boxers suffered from lower back pain to varying degrees. The results demonstrated a strong, statistically significant inverse correlation between trunk muscle efficiency and lower back pain, with correlation coefficients ranging from (-0.74) to (-0.85); the Bearing-Sørensen test was the one most strongly associated with lower back pain. The researcher concluded that reduced trunk muscle function is associated with higher levels of lower back pain in boxers, and that weakness in the erector spinae and lateral trunk muscles may be an important factor associated with the onset of this pain. The researcher recommends the inclusion of core muscle strengthening and stability exercises in boxers’ training programmes, the adoption of core muscle function tests as a means of periodic assessment, as well as the provision of medical supervision and rehabilitation in boxing clubs to reduce lower back pain and improve sporting performance.

Abstract

Sports is a field where training methods and techniques to improve physical performance such as fencing. This study presents a training program that can be implemented in sports clubs, specifically Baghdad Fencing Club. The study highlights the influence of environmental factors such as air pressure and magnetic fields on sports performance, which can help design training programs that take these variables into account. It emphasizes the importance of using modern technologies such as WIMU Pro in sports performance analysis. Despite significant advances in sports training methods, there is a lack of research focusing on the effects of advanced plyometric training on young fencing athletes, especially in relation to the use of modern technologies such as WIMU Pro. In addition, the influence of environmental factors such as air pressure and magnetic fields on physiological and motor performance has not been adequately discussed in scientific studies. It is evident that young fencing athletes struggle to achieve optimal performance due to the lack of training programs that integrate modern technology while taking into account environmental variables. Therefore, this study aims to address this gap by investigating the effects of advanced plyometric training using WIMU Pro technology on speed, acceleration, angle, heart rate and e in young fencing athletes. The purpose of this study is to develop a training program that utilizes advanced plyometric exercises using WIMU Pro technology; to determine the effects of advanced plyometric exercises on speed and acceleration in young fencing athletes at the Baghdad Fencing Club; to measure the effect of this exercise on the accuracy of the angle of movement during execution; to investigate the effects of training programs on heart rate under various conditions of air pressure and magnetic fields, and to provide practical recommendations for the development of training programs for young fencing athletes based on research findings. The study adopted an experimental design with both experimental and control groups, involving a sample of 24 fencing athletes. The results showed statistically significant increases in speed (8.16%), acceleration (16.13%), angle of motion (4.38%) and heart rate (6.67%) for the experimental group compared to the control group. The results also showed a slight effect of air pressure on heart rate, while magnetic fields had no obvious effect.

Abstract

The ability to process visual stimuli and make precise motor decisions within a few milliseconds is an essential component of high-level performance in football. Despite considerable theoretical interest, there is no psychometrically validated test battery available to comprehensively assess perceptual-motor decision-making speed (PMDS) in top Iraqi footballers. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a test battery comprising five PMDS tests and to determine its content validity, construct validity, criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability among footballers in the Iraqi Premier League. A three-phase sequential mixed-methods design was employed. In Phase 1, content validity was determined by a panel of experts (n = 12) using Lawshe’s content validity ratio (CVR). During phase 2, test-retest reliability was assessed in 30 players during two sessions 72 hours apart using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC₂,₁), standard error of measurement (SEM) and the minimum detectable change (MDC₉₅). During phase 3, conceptual validity (known groups: elite versus sub-elite, n = 75) and criterion-related validity were assessed using a game performance index (n = 75). The test battery comprised five sequential tests: simple reaction time, choice reaction time, anticipation time, decision-making under dual-task conditions, and a game-based decision-making task. Results, all twelve items assessing content validity exceeded the minimum CVR threshold of 0.83 (range: 0.85–0.96). The ICC values ranged from 0.89 to 0.94, indicating excellent test-retest reliability. The SEM values ranged from 12.4 to 21.3 ms. Elite players achieved significantly faster PMDS scores than non-elite players in all five tests (p < 0.001, d = 0.84–1.12). The total score of the test battery was significantly correlated with the match performance index (r = −0.68, p < 0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional structure (CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.048). Conclusions, The complete PMDS battery exhibits robust psychometric properties and is suitable for talent identification, performance monitoring and applied research among Iraqi Premier League footballers as well as comparable elite populations.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an educational programme based on the IDEAL model on reducing cognitive failure and the acquisition of certain basic basketball skills among students. The researcher adopted an experimental approach due to its suitability for the nature of the research problem, using a two-group design with pre- and post-tests. The research population comprised first-year students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Samarra University, for the academic year (2025–2026). The research sample comprised 40 students, who were randomly divided into two equivalent groups: 20 students in the experimental group, who underwent an educational programme based on the IDEAL model, and 20 students in the control group, who followed the curriculum taught by the subject teacher. The researcher employed the Cognitive Failure Scale, as well as a number of basketball skill tests, namely: chest dribbling, dribbling between cones, lay-ups and free throws, to measure the level of mastery of basic skills among the sample participants. The researcher concluded that the educational programme based on the IDEAL model contributed positively to reducing cognitive failure and improving the learning of certain basic basketball skills, and recommended the adoption of modern educational models based on thinking and problem-solving in physical education lessons, given their active role in developing students’ cognitive and skill-based abilities.
