Abstract

Background. Sports activities serve as a significant medium for self-expression while also captivating public interest due to their inherent excitement and thrill. Consequently, these activities have experienced considerable advancement in their performance techniques and practice prerequisites. Participation in sporting activities imposes diverse stresses on muscles, joints, and ligaments, resulting in the potential for injuries of varied severity in different body regions, contingent upon the specific activity undertaken. Moreover, the direct interaction among players heightens the probability of injuries. Objectives. The aim of the study was to develop rehabilitative exercises by the use of an aquatic facility to enhance the efficiency of the injured ankle joint in the case of the young handball players. Method. The investigator applied the experimental approach that is appropriate to this issue, where the pre-test and the post-test were one-group. The sample used in the study was not random and included only young players (16-18 years old) in clubs in Maysan Governorate who were injured and performed rehabilitation exercises as a follow-up after a medical recovery period and this number constituted 8 players. Results. The results showed significant differences between the pre-test and post-test for the experimental group, favoring the post-test. The researcher attributes this improvement to the role of rehabilitation exercises in the aquatic environment that were designed and applied to individuals with ankle injuries. These exercises were organized, contributing to increased flexibility of the tissues surrounding the ankle joint, which led to improved elasticity of the ligaments and joints. The researcher attributes the improvement in injury levels to the aquatic environment, as it is considered an ideal place for muscle and joint injuries. Conclusion. The following conclusions and recommendations were the most important in the study: the use of rehabilitation exercises based on aquatic environment positively influenced the increase and the improvement of the range of motion of the ankle joint. Moreover, the use of rehabilitation exercise in water also helped in enhancing muscular strength that helps in the support of the ankle joint.

Abstract

Background. In basketball, players have to observe many details very quickly within a shooting play; for example, they must note their own position on the court, the defender’s distance from them, the basket’s position, and their teammates' movements. Objectives. This paper indicates the role that higher visual memory plays in shooting accuracy (number of successful shots) among players (13-16) in a real game setting. Method. We conducted a descriptive correlational study that collected field data without changing the players’ basic training at all. The participants were 25 junior players aged 13-16 years with at least one year of experience and either normal or corrected vision. The players were subsequently divided into two groups: 11 players with high visual memory and 14 players with low visual memory. Results. The results showed a strong positive correlation (r=0.84, p<0.0001) between visual memory score and the number of successful shots. A correlation was also found between the average number of successful shots in the low and high visual memory groups. Player age was not correlated with visual memory score (p=0.18). Conclusion. There is a relationship between the average successful throws of the two categories, low memory and high memory, which proves the sub-hypothesis of the research. The player's age is not related to the degree of memory (P=0.18). The distributions of both memory score and aiming accuracy showed a concentration around the average values.
