Abstract

This study aimed to design special exercises using the mini trampoline for handball players aged 14–16 years and evaluate their effects on developing specific motor abilities and complex offensive skills in this age group. The experimental method was used, and a sample of 20 handball players, aged 14–16 years, was selected from specialized handball schools in Najaf province. The players represented the specialized handball schools affiliated with the General Directorate of Najaf province and the Kufa Sports Club Junior Handball School. The sample was equally divided into two groups: experimental and control. The motor abilities and complex offensive skills were determined as follows: motor abilities—eye and leg coordination, moving balance, and agility; basic offensive skills—passing and receiving, dribbling followed by shooting, receiving followed by shooting, and deception followed by shooting. The results indicated significant differences in the pre- and post-test measurements for both groups (p<0.05), except for the control group’s balance measurement, which showed no significant changes (p>0.05). Players in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group in both motor abilities and offensive handball skills (p<0.05), highlighting the effectiveness of the trampoline exercises in improving overall performance. It is essential to incorporate training devices, including the mini trampoline, into training programs due to their effectiveness in developing motor skills, improving dexterity, and reducing effort and time.
