The Dean of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Girls at the University of Baghdad, Professor Dr. Fatima Abid Maleh, chaired the discussion of the doctoral dissertation titled (The Effect of Exercises Using the Fit 20 Technique on the Electrical Activity of Muscles, and Some Physical and Skill Abilities Among Volleyball Players Under 18 Years), by the researcher (Diyar Nasr Majeed).
The defense committee also consisted of Prof. Dr. Suhad Qasim Said as Member, Prof. Dr. Basma Naim Mohsen from the University of Diyala as an External Member, Prof. Dr. Nada Abdul-Salam Sabri as Member, Prof. Dr. Naeema Zaidan Khalaf as Member, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Ishraq Ghalib Oudah as Supervisor.
The study aimed to identify the effect of exercises using the Fit 20 technique on the electromyographical activity of muscles (EMG), select physiological variables, physical abilities, and the level of skill performance among volleyball players under 18 years, to identify the electromyographical activity of muscles and select physiological variables among volleyball players under 18 years, and to identify the effect of exercises using the Fit 20 technique on developing select specific physical abilities and their impact on improving the skill performance of youth volleyball players.
The study concluded that the use of the Fit 20 training technique, which relies on high-intensity and short-duration resistance exercises, contributes effectively to developing the electrical activity of muscles and improving select physiological variables and specific physical abilities, leading to elevating the level of skill performance among youth volleyball players, as well as its contribution to achieving high training efficiency with economy in the time and effort expended compared to traditional training programs.
The study recommended the necessity of adopting exercises using the Fit 20 technique within the physical preparation programs for volleyball players, expanding the use of modern physiological measurement tools such as electromyography (EMG) analysis to codify training loads in a scientifically precise manner, in addition to conducting similar studies on different age groups and athletic levels.
This study achieves the fourth goal of the sustainable development goals represented by quality education.
