THE EFFECT OF COMPETITIVE EXERCISES ON DEVELOPING CERTAIN MOTOR, SKILL, AND FUNCTIONAL VARIABLES AMONG FEMALE FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

The researchers' goal is to create competitive activities that will help female football players in the Northern Oil Club for Women improve their motor, skill, and functional abilities. The study also aims to investigate how these workouts affect the improvement of motor, skill, and functional factors in female football players competing in the 2022–2023 Iraqi Women’s Championship. The experimental approach was chosen by the researchers because it was appropriate for the type of study. Twenty-six football players from Kirkuk's Northern Oil Club were purposefully chosen to make up the sample for the 2022–2023 season. Twenty players, or 76.9% of the population, made up the research sample. They were split into two groups, the experimental and control, each of which had ten players. Twenty-four training units made up the program, which was run for eight weeks at a rate of three sessions per week.
