The Effect of Compound Training Exercises on Some Components of Coordination Ability, Precision in Handling, and Scoring for Female Football Players in Baghdad Indoor Football Clubs

Abstract

Achieving a high level of performance in indoor football necessitates a high degree of proficiency in the game's specific requirements, along with the mastery of offensive skills and coordination abilities that contribute to adaptive motor performance in various in-game scenarios. The research problem lies in insufficient training curricula to meet the growing demand for specialized physical, technical, and coordination capabilities essential for optimal performance. The research aims to formulate comprehensive exercises aimed at enhancing specific components of coordination abilities, as well as the precision of ball handling and shooting skills for female indoor football players. The researchers employed the experimental method, with the design of two equivalent groups, experimental and control, as the methodology for conducting their research. The research population was purposively determined and consisted of women's indoor football clubs in Baghdad, including the following clubs: Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, Al-Zawraa, Al-Tijara, and Biladi. The total number of players in these clubs was 94. The research sample was selected randomly using a lottery method, focusing on players from Al-Zawraa's indoor football club, which consisted of 24 players, making up 25.53% of the Baghdad football clubs' population. Goalkeepers were excluded from the sample due to the differences in their training routines, resulting in a final research sample of 20 players. This sample was divided into two groups, an experimental group and a control group, each comprising 10 players. The researchers concluded that compound exercises positively influenced the development of certain components of coordination ability and the accuracy of handling and shooting skills for the experimental group. This improvement was more significant in the experimental group compared to the control group among the sample of indoor football players. Furthermore, adopting compound exercises that focus on enhancing the precision of skill performance in handling from different angles and shooting accuracy from a distance of 12 meters proved effective for indoor football players, and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health). The researchers recommend the importance of focusing on the skill performance of indoor football players by incorporating compound exercises that align with both coordination and physical aspects, similar to skill performance. They also emphasize the need to apply the compound exercises used by the researchers to enhance components of coordination abilities in other indoor football skills
