The study aimed to design and implement a training program based on neuromuscular communication to improve the skill performance of handball players

Abstract

The researcher used a quasi-experimental approach with a two-group design (experimental and control) with pre- and post-testing. The study sample consisted of 40 players randomly divided into two equal groups. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in the overall skill performance level of the experimental group by 15.5% compared to 4% for the control group. The results also showed statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups in the post-test in favor of the experimental group, with a large effect size confirming the practical importance of the program. The study concluded that the neuromuscular communication program was effective in improving the skill performance of handball players in a way that surpasses traditional training, confirming the importance of integrating mental and physical aspects into training programs.
