Abstract
The research aims to reveal the effect of Swiss ball exercises on some physical variables for the players of the experimental group, as well as the effect of Swiss ball exercises on some basic skills for the players of the experimental group, as well as to compare the two research groups (control and experimental) in some physical variables in the post-test for the football players. In addition to the comparison between the two research groups (control and experimental) in some basic football skills.
The researcher used the experimental method for its suitability and the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of (32) players from the Mosul Youth Sports Club in football, representing 75% of the research community. The sample was divided into two groups (experimental and control) by following the selection method. Randomly using a lottery, there were (12) players for the experimental group and (12) players for the control group. The players who did not complete the tests and the players who could not commit to the experiment were excluded. Their number was (5) players, in addition to the goalkeepers being excluded, their number was (3) goalkeepers. Achieving homogeneity in the variables (age, height, weight, and training age), and parity between the two research groups in the physical and skill traits that were determined by the specialists.
The experimental design, which is called a random-selection control group design with a pre- and post-test, was adopted.
The experimental design was adopted, which is called a random-selection control group design with a pre- and post-test. The data was processed statistically using the SPSS program to obtain (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, skewness coefficient, percentage, t-test for linked samples, and t-test for paired samples).
