Abstract
The present study aimed at 1- identifying the effect of various balance exercises on the level of technical performance on the balance beam for both the experimental and the control groups of AlSulaimaneyya Academy female gymnastics players, 2- identifying the differences between the results of the posttest of the two groups in terms of the performance level on the balance beam. The two researchers hypothesized that: 1- there were statistically significant differences between the results of the pretest and the posttest for both the control and the experimental groups in the performance level on the balance beam and in favor of the posttest. 2- there are significant differences in the results of the posttest between the control and the experimental groups in the level of technical performance and in favor of the experimental group. The two researchers used the experimental method as it is suitable with the nature of the research. The population of the research involved junior female players of AlSulaimaneyya academy for the season (2023-2024). The total number of the players was (15) female players with ages ranged between (9-12) years old who were selected deliberately. Then (5) female players were excluded for the purpose of conducting the exploratory experiment and also (2) players were excluded as they were not committed to the exercise and the program. So, the sample of the research included (8) players who represent (53%) of the research population. The sample was divided into two groups (control and experimental groups) through the random selection using the lottery and each group included (4) players. The control group used the coach program and the experimental group used the exercises that were prepared by the researcher. Homogeneity was conducted (height, age and weight) and also the equivalence was conducted for the sample of the research (according to the requirements of the research). The two researchers used the following statistical tools to obtain the results, they include: (the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Levin’s test, percentage, T test for independent samples, T test for the correlated samples). The two researchers concluded the following: 1- The various special exercises on the balance beam that were performed by the experimental group achieved a significant development in the technical performance. 2- The experimental group was significantly superior over the control group in terms of the performance. The researchers recommended that: 1- It is necessary to guide the coaches to use the variety of special exercises as they have an impact on developing the level of performance on the balance beam. 2- It is beneficial to adopt the repetitive method in the preparation period in terms of developing the performance. 3- Emphasizing the use of ballet exercises to increase the movement domain, which in turn leads to developing the performance on the balance beam.
