Certain physical fitness Component and their relationship to the Dribble-While-Rotating Skill in Basketball Among North Oil Club Players

Abstract

         The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between agility, flexibility, and the skill of dribbling with rotation in basketball among players of the North Oil Club, basketball team. The researchers used the descriptive method in the style of associative relationships due to its suitability to the nature of the study and to achieve its goals. As for the research community, it was chosen intentionally and consisted of players from the North Oil Club, the basketball team. The sample consisted of advanced players, numbering (10) players, representing (83.33%) of the research community after excluding two players for the exploratory experiment. The results showed a statistically significant correlation between flexibility and agility and the skill of dribbling with rotation in basketball. The results also showed that the quality of agility contributes to the performance of the skill of dribbling with rotation in basketball, in addition to the contribution of flexibility to the performance of the skill of dribbling with rotation in basketball. Based on all of the above, the researchers recommended the need to link skill and motor performance when developing training programs and put them in a way appropriate for the competition. Additionally, there is a need to focus on some physical fitness elements such as flexibility and agility after establishing their significant relationship, and to conduct similar research on other physical abilities and their relationship with basketball skills. This will serve the game, especially since it is the second most popular game in the world.
