Abstract
The aim of the research is to design HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) exercises to develop specific leg strength and the jump shooting skill in handball for youth players under 17 years old. The study also seeks to identify the impact of HIIT exercises on developing leg strength and jump shooting skills in youth handball players. The researcher adopted the experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design, as it is the most suitable approach for the nature and objectives of the study. The research population consisted of youth handball players in Diyala Governorate, divided between Diyala Club and Khalis Club, with a total of 28 players, as shown in Table (1). The research sample was randomly selected through a lottery and included 12 players from Diyala Club, representing the experimental group, accounting for 42.85% of the total population.
Additionally, the exercises positively influenced the accuracy and power of jump shooting, as the intense training, which simulates match conditions, helped improve neuromuscular coordination and increase players’ confidence when executing this skill. HIIT exercises are an effective means of developing these physical and technical aspects in a short period compared to traditional methods.
The researcher recommends incorporating HIIT exercises regularly into training programs to enhance athletic performance, designing exercises according to the players' skill levels and individual needs, and ensuring the correct execution of exercises to prevent injuries and maximize benefits. These findings highlight that HIIT exercises are a powerful tool for developing essential physical and technical aspects in handball, particularly jump shooting skills.
