The effect of a special training program in agility on developing some skill and physical variables among players of Durrat Karbala Tennis Academy under 18 years old

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effect of a special agility training program on the development of various skill and physical variables among players at the Durrat Karbala Tennis Academy who are under the age of 18. The researcher employed an experimental design with pre- and post-measurements for two groups: one experimental and the other control. The research community represented the Durrat Karbala Tennis Academy's under-18 players, which numbered 50. The research sample consisted of 25 players who were purposefully selected and divided into 20 players for the main experiment and 5 players for the exploratory experiment. Considering these results, the researcher concluded that the experimental group outperformed the control group in two-dimensional measurements of physical variables (agility, transitional speed, reaction time, static balance, and coordination) and the foot movement test.
