This research aims to design an instructional program based on the BYO-D strategy for teaching selected fundamental skills in fencing. The researchers employed the experimental method. The research sample consisted of third-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Basrah for the academic year 2024–2025, totaling 30 students. The sample was divided into two groups: Section (A) represented the experimental group with 15 students, and Section (B) represented the control group with 15 students. The instructional program was implemented for eight weeks, with one instructional unit per week. The researchers concluded that the BYO-D strategy was effective in teaching some fundamental fencing skills and in minimizing errors during performance.

The research problem lies in the lack of functional specialization in many basketball rehabilitation programs following ACL injuries. Consequently, these programs do not adequately assess game-specific motor skills such as landing mechanisms from various jumps, stability during rotations and quick cuts, and neuromuscular response under fatigue conditions similar to those of a match. This deficiency leads to players returning to the sport without full functional readiness, exposing them to a high risk of re-injury and limiting their competitive performance. Therefore, the researchers formulated the problem as the following question: How effective is a sports rehabilitation program designed based on integrated functional assessment and the measurement of dynamic stability and neuromuscular response in rehabilitating basketball players after ACL injuries The research aims to design a rehabilitation program based on integrated functional assessment and the measurement of dynamic stability and neuromuscular response to rehabilitate advanced basketball players with ACL injuries and to identify differences in variables between the experimental group and advanced basketball players with ACL injuries. The researchers used a single-group experimental design, as it is suitable for the nature of the research. The researchers defined the research population and sample purposively, which consisted of advanced players with ACL injuries. Six players in Dhi Qar Governorate were treated for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The researchers concluded that the rehabilitation program was effective in improving dynamic stability and neuromuscular response in basketball players with ACL injuries, and that the program accelerated their safe return to the court through clear, performance-based criteria.

This research aims to prepare an educational program using the method of inclusion and motor linking to learn the stages of technical performance for the triple jump event, as well as to identify the effect of the educational program using the method of inclusion and motor linking to learn the stages of technical performance for the triple jump event. The researcher used the experimental method on a sample of second-year students, section (C), whose number is (24) students, divided into two groups, experimental and control, and each group has (12) students. An educational program using the method of inclusion was used for the experimental group for a period of (6 weeks) at a rate of two educational units per week. The researcher concluded that there is a positive effect of the educational program using the method of inclusion and motor linking to learn the stages of technical performance for the triple jump event.

The selection of children aged 4-5 years in gymnastics is a crucial age group. The researcher, who is interested in this activity, observed a significant problem: the lack of reliance on scientific principles in the selection process for this important age group by most professionals in this field. There is a lack of understanding regarding the contribution of anthropometric measurements and biomechanical abilities to the selection process for this age group. This research aims to identify the most important anthropometric measurements and biomechanical abilities suitable for this age group, as well as the contribution of these measurements to the selection process. The research sample consisted of 180 girls aged 4-5 years from the center of the holy city of Karbala, representing 23% of the total population of 800 children from 15 kindergartens distributed throughout the city of Karbala. The sample was distributed as follows: 40 One child was selected for the pilot sample, and 100 children were selected for factor analysis. One of the most important conclusions reached by the researcher is the acceptance of two factors for anthropometric measurements.


Among the most important recommendations reached by the researcher is the finding that there are four factors, two of which are accepted for biomotor abilities. This relies on the significant indicators contributing to the acceptance of anthropometric and biomotor ability factors when selecting children aged 4-5 years. It also depends on the acceptance of factors in terms of their order and composition when selecting this age group.

This research aims to develop specific exercises to improve the endurance of 100-meter backstroke swimmers, taking into account certain biomechanical variables (stroke length, stroke time, and number of arm strokes). It also seeks to identify the values ​​of these biomechanical variables that influence the motor performance of 100-meter backstroke swimmers. The researcher employed an experimental design with a single experimental group. A sample of eight young swimmers from the Maritime Sports Club, participating in the Olympic swimming program, was selected purposively to represent the research population. The most significant finding was the improvement in the endurance of the 100-meter backstroke swimmers and in the biomechanical variables under study (stroke length, stroke time, and number of arm strokes). The most important recommendation is to continue using the researcher's developed methodology for longer periods, particularly during the specialized training phase, to enhance the technical performance and achievement of young swimmers.

This study aims to analyze the levels of psychological fluency in relation to certain physical activity requirements among a sample of 16-17 year old students in schools. The importance of this study lies in identifying the current state and values ​​of psychological fluency levels within the research sample, as well as determining the extent to which fluency influences the values ​​associated with certain physical activity requirements in the school environment.

The researcher employed a descriptive methodology. The total sample size was 527 students, representing 87.27% of the study population. Several physical tests were also conducted, including agility, static balance, and muscular strength.
