Modern Sport

The significance of this research lies in the use of targeted and varied exercises aimed at developing specific motor abilities, particularly reaction speed. Enhancing this ability contributes directly to improving skill performance in the sport of fencing. This is especially important during this developmental stage, as it marks a critical period for the maturation of both the body and the nervous system. At this age, physical and motor capabilities begin to reach full development. Moreover, the refinement of such abilities requires a well-functioning nervous system, which must be trained through carefully timed and appropriately designed exercises. These exercises should incorporate …

False Confidence And Behavioral-Psychological Balance And Their Relationship With Rational And Irrational Thoughts Among Futsal Players, Sherin Laibi Manati, Aseel Naji Fahd, Sundus Burhan Adham

Modern Sport

This study aimed to examine the levels of false confidence, behavioural psychological balance, and rational and irrational thoughts, as well as to investigate the relationships among these variables in futsal players.

This interplay supports the balanced and comprehensive development of the practitioner, thereby enhancing individual efficiency and performance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive representation and the performance of the side kick and back kick skills among junior taekwondo athletes aged 12 …

An Analytical Study On The Performance Of The Video Assistant Referee (Var) System In The Iraq Stars Football League, Mais Mahmoud Salman Al-Azzawi, Raghda Hassan Ibrahim Al-Azzawi, Félix Arbinaga, Maryam Abdul Jabbar Khudhur

Modern Sport

The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is a technology designed to review on-field decisions through video footage in order to correct clear and critical refereeing errors. It enables the replay of key moments in slow motion to determine the correct final decision, with communication between the video officials and the referee conducted via headset. The system operates under the principle of "minimal interference, maximum benefit," intervening only in essential situations. This study aimed to assess the current implementation of VAR in the Iraq Stars Football League during the 2023--2024 season. To achieve this objective, the researchers employed a descriptive survey method …

The Effect Of Specialized Water-Based Exercises Accompanied By Music On Learning Freestyle Swimming Skills Among Female Students, Mawaheb Hameed Al-Jubouri, Odai Tareq Hassan

Modern Sport

The present study aimed to design specialized water-based exercises accompanied by music for teaching freestyle swimming skills to first-year female students at the College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences for Women, and to examine the impact of these exercises on learning outcomes. The research problem centers on the need to enhance the learning process by adopting modern instructional methods that lead to more efficient and engaging learning in less time and with less effort. To address this, the researchers proposed using a novel approach involving aquatic exercises synchronized with music, noting the need to make swimming lessons more engaging …

The Impact Of An Ai-Supported Smart Hiit Program On Cardiovascular Fitness And Physical Performance, Maysaa Redha Ghanem

Modern Sport

In recent years, there has been growing interest in training programs that enhance physical fitness and overall health. Among the most prominent is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which has demonstrated effectiveness in improving cardiovascular efficiency and boosting physical performance within a relatively short period. With rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), it has become possible to develop smart training solutions that rely on the analysis of biometric and physiological data to deliver personalized programs tailored to individual needs. AI algorithms can analyze users' biological and physical data and generate training regimens based on physiological responses, opening new avenues for improving …

The Effect Of An Electronic Refereeing Program On Selected Officiating Cases In Basketball Among Female Students, Mariam Luwaa Abdel Fattah, Marwa Luwaa Abdel Fattah, Marwa Saadi Mahmoud, Luma Sameer Hamoudi

Modern Sport

The researchers proposed the use of a ready-made electronic program that includes refereeing scenarios designed to engage students in enhancing officiating performance, in an effort to guide them toward correct officiating. The study incorporated refereeing cases drawn from the fourth-year college curriculum. Accordingly, the research problem centres on whether modern technologies influence the development of officiating performance among students. The aim of the study was to utilize an electronic program that illustrates violations, infractions, and refereeing signals in basketball, and examine its effect on improving performance. The researchers employed the experimental method using two groups---experimental and control---on a sample of …

Perception Of Quality Of Life, Brain Regions, And Cognitive Performance In Hispanic Adults: A Canonical Correlation Approach, Juan C. Lopez-Alvarenga, Jesus D. Melgarejo, Jesus Rivera-Sanchez, Lorena Velazquez-Alvarez, Rosa V. Pirela, John Blangero, Jose E. Cavazos, Michael C. Mahaney, Joseph D. Terwilliger, Gladys E. Maestre

The quality of life (QoL) perception has been studied in neurological diseases; however, there is limited information linking brain morphological characteristics, QoL, and cognition. Human behavior and perception are associated with specific brain areas that interact through diffuse electrochemical networking. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyze the brain region volume (BRV) correlation with the scores of Rand’s 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and cognitive domains (memory and dementia status). We analyzed data from 420 adult participants in the Maracaibo Aging Study (MAS). Principal component analysis with oblimin axis rotation was used to gather redundant information from brain parcels …
