A study of the effect of targeted training units on physiological fatigue, anaerobic capacity, and physical and skill variables in basketball players

This research aims to study the effect of directed training units on physiological fatigue, anaerobic capacity, and some physical and skill variables among young handball players at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences – University of Baghdad. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the study, as the research sample included (12) players who were randomly selected from the original community.

Pre- and post-tests were conducted to measure fatigue indicators, anaerobic capacity, and a number of physical and skill characteristics. The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods..

The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-measurements in favor of the post-measurement, indicating the effectiveness of the training program in improving the indicators under study..

The researcher concluded that the proposed training program contributed to improving the levels of physiological fatigue, anaerobic capabilities, and physical and skill qualities of the players.

Accordingly, the researcher recommends applying similar training units to different age groups, with the aim of developing levels of physical and skill performance in general.
