Effect of Tabata exercises to development the speed endurance and performance of the compound skill (feint from stability, receiving then lay-up shot) of basketball for youth

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in scientifically designing exercises in the Tabata style, as the researcher believes that they have effect positive on developing the ability to endurance speed and carrying out the compound skill performance (feint from stability, receiving then lay up shot) for youth basketball players.

As the problem of research: the researcher noticed, through his field experience, a decrease in the level of skill performance, especially in the last times of matches in which the level of performance is high and which requires endurance of speed, This decrease leads to the inability to bear speed and poor technical performance of basketball skills, and the researcher believes that this problem is due to not giving priority to training biomotor abilities, including endurance of speed that contributes to resisting fatigue and speed of motor performance of basic and compound skills in general and the skill (feint from stability, receiving then lay-up shot) in particular, therefore, the researcher decided to adopt this study and design exercises in the Tabata style and to identify the effect of the ability to withstand speed and perform the compound skill (feint from stability, receiving then lay-up shot) for youth in basketball.

The research aimed at: preparing exercises in the Tabata style, and identifying the effect of exercises in developing endurance of speed and compound skill (feint from stability, receiving then lay-up shot)  for youth in basketball.

The researcher used the experimental method, and community research was identified from the youth basketball players for the sports season (2020-2021) for Al-Hilla Sports Club, which numbered (12) players, and divided them randomly (the lottery method) into two groups.

The most important conclusions were: that the Tabata-style exercises designed by the researcher contributed to development the ability to endurance speed and performance of the compound (feint from stability, receiving then lay-up shot) for youth in basketball, and the training period using Tabata-style exercises was appropriate in the development of skill performance for the variables studied on the experimental group.

As for the recommendations, they are: The researcher recommends adopting Tabata-style exercises when training youth basketball players, improving biomotor abilities in general, developing speed endurance in particular, and carrying out the performance of the compound skill in basketball.
