Design and application of a distinctive strength of speed test for the arms for Middle Euphrates club boxers aged (16-18) years

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to design a test to measure the strength and speed of the arms for Middle Euphrates club boxers aged (16-18) years, establishing standard grades and levels. The researcher chose the descriptive survey method for its suitability and the nature of the research. The researcher identified the research community, which is the boxers of the clubs of the Middle Euphrates governorates for the youth category, aged (16-18) years, as shown in Table (1), as the number of clubs was (22) clubs, while the number of boxers was (175) boxers. As for the sample, it was (104) boxers, and (7) boxers were members of the exploratory experiment. There were (44) boxers who were excluded for their lack of attendance and commitment, so the percentage reached (74.85%). One of the most important results reached by the researcher is that: It was concluded that the design of the test for the strength and speed of the arms in boxing has scientific foundations and is appropriate for the age and gender of the sample, and a table was prepared for the raw scores and standard scores for the research sample. One of the most important recommendations recommended by the researchers is that: The researcher recommends the necessity of using a test designed to measure the characteristic of strength and speed of the arms in boxing, as it has the standards and levels that have been reached.
