Building a battery of physical tests for students of the third stage in Riyadh.

Abstract

 The aim of the research is to: Build a battery of physical tests for students of the Faculty of Physical Education in the third stage in badminton. The researcher used the descriptive approach in the survey method to reach a solution to the research problem.  The research community included the students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Al-Mustansiriya University, the third stage, who numbered(70) students, which constituted (100%) of the total community. He used(5) of them for the exploratory experiment, in order to obtain data and information related to the subject of the research, the researcher used the observation  Scientific references and sources, personal interviews with experts and specialists, questionnaire form, tests and measurements.  To reach a solution to the research problem, the researcher used the following statistical methods. Relative importance, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, skew coefficient, simple correlation coefficient, T-test for uncorrelated samples, factor analysis.  The data was processed statistically using the statistical package (SPSS).  In light of the results, the following was found:

 First: the factorial analysis using orthogonal rotation that was conducted on variables representing tests of physical abilities for students of the Faculty of Physical Education in the third stage, which showed (5) variables, three of which were accepted in light of the conditions for accepting the factors, and the accepted factors were: The first factor (agility)  The second factor (flexibility) and the third factor (the explosive strength of the arms).  The battery of physical abilities for students of the Faculty of Physical Education in the third stage was extracted in the light of the extracted factors that represent its units on the highest ramifications.  A number of recommendations have been made, adopting the extracted test battery and using it in its tests for the purpose of benefiting from it in developing the abilities of university students in the faculties of physical education.
