Effect of Special Exercises To Develop Electrical Muscular Activity of The Muscles Of Legs And Front Straight Air Flip Performance Skill on Ground Movements Rug for Juniors

Abstract

Objectives. The objective of this research was to prepare specialized exercises aimed at developing lower limb strength to improve the technical performance of the front straight air flip skill on the ground mat apparatus in gymnastics. The study addressed the problem of weak technical execution among players, the limited use of modern technologies, and the insufficient information regarding the electrical activity of the muscles involved and their responsiveness to training stimuli. These gaps contributed to poor technical outcomes, necessitating the need for innovative exercise interventions based on scientific measurements such as electromyography (EMG).

 Materials and Methods. The researcher employed a descriptive approach using the survey method to address the research problem. The study sample consisted of 100 randomly selected physical education teachers from primary schools in Maysan Governorate for the academic year 2024–2025. A specially designed questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of educational performance, and its scientific coefficients were established. The main experiment was conducted on 8/12/2024, and data were statistically analyzed. Results. The results showed a significant improvement in the values of the electrical activity indicators of the muscles involved in performing the front straight air flip. Comparative analysis between pre-test and post-test results revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the post-test across all measured variables. This indicates that the special exercises had a positive impact on both muscular strength and technical skill performance, affirming the effectiveness of targeted physical training combined with the use of modern measurement technologies like EMG.

 Conclusion. The researchers concluded that the implementation of specialized strength exercises significantly enhanced the electrical muscular activity and technical performance of the front straight air flip skill among junior gymnasts. It was recommended that training programs should systematically incorporate exercises aligned with specific motor skills and that modern techniques such as EMG should be utilized to monitor and optimize athlete development. This approach can effectively identify strengths and weaknesses in motor performance, allowing for more targeted and efficient training interventions.
