The Effect of Exercises with Different Resistances to Develop Some Biomechanical Variables to Achieve the Effectiveness of the Triple Leap for Female Students

Abstract

Each sport has a set of characteristics that distinguish it from others. The Triple Leap is considered one of the sports that needs special characteristics and abilities. This sport, by its nature, requires a high tactical physical level. Supporting training with scientific theories relied upon to build learning and mechanical foundations can achieve the goals that this type of sports aspires to. The research aimed to prepare resistance training exercises to develop some biomechanical variables and raise the level of performance of triple leap athletes. The experimental method was chosen to achieve the research goal by designing two equal experimental and control groups with a pre- and post-test and applying it to the sample. the research sample consisted of 18 students from the second stage, Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - Al-Mustaqbal University for the academic year (2023-2024) in Iraq. The findings revealed that incorporating diverse resistances into the training program significantly influenced the improvement of biomechanical variables and performance in the studied triple jump event. Specifically, the experimental group displayed a notable advantage in developing both biomechanical variables and overall performance compared to the control group. This highlights the crucial role for coaches to utilize a varied selection of resistance shapes and weights to optimize the enhancement of the triple jump event.
