The Effect of Special Exercises Using the Visual Stimuli Device on the Speed of Motor Response, Visual Tracking, the Skills of Cutting and Dispersing the Ball, and Various Defensive Movements for Young Handball Players
Abstract
The research is significant because it aims to improve the speed of motor response and visual tracking through targeted exercises using the visual stimuli device that the two researchers created as part of the training program for the sample. This program also supports the individual defensive movements of the players, which are exemplified by the skills of cutting and dispersing the ball and other defensive movements for young handball players. Preparing unique workouts with visual stimuli to enhance young handball players' motor reaction speed, visual tracking abilities, ball-cutting and ball-dispersing capabilities, and defensive maneuvers is one of the research's goals. The methodology: researchers have used experimental methods with two groups. The research population was purposefully selected and sampled; specifically, the goalkeepers, who numbered two, were omitted, and the Diyala Handball Club youth players for the 2022–2023 sports season numbered eighteen. As a result, the sample size increased to sixteen participants, split into eight players representing the experimental group and eight representing the control group at random (even and odd numbers). After conducting an exploratory experiment on two handball players. The research concludes that workouts on the visual stimulus device positively impacted the experimental study sample's development of visual tracking and motor reaction speed.
