This study involved a sample of 10 goalkeepers participating in the local championship of Iraqi clubs in the Premier League held in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 26.0. The results of our study showed that creative thinking directly affects the visual field of vision and inversely to the visual reaction of goalkeepers in the Premier League handball clubs. The higher the creative thinking is, the degrees of their visual vision will increase and the time of their visual reaction will reduce. It is necessary to establish the improvement of creative thinking as an important psychological factor in the training units in the Premier League handball clubs, and also to increase the coaches’ experiences on improving it by gathering the physical and skill exercises of the goalkeepers.","PeriodicalId":44430,"journal":{"name":"Sport TK-Revista Euroamericana de Ciencias del Deporte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84236218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article highlights several activities to find ways to enhance interaction between teachers and accompanists. We used a comprehensive approach to methodology: descriptive method, analysis, and synthesis to consider the theoretical foundations, statistical methods (qualitative and quantitative), the method of questioning, as well as the method of a pedagogical experiment - collection, description and analysis of the practical results of behavioral research. Choreographic education needs close interaction between all participants in the educational process under distance learning conditions. The latter relieves stress and improves the attitude to the work of the choreographer within the conditions changed due to quarantine restrictions. This interaction is facilitated by using the possibilities of digital space and the virtualization of the educational process.

Our study showed that the management process of sports and pedagogical educational institutions can be effective only if it is scientifically substantiated and implemented following the goals of strategic development of educational institutions. The functioning of the management mechanism is based on the understanding of management as a particular function that ensures the feasibility and quality of an educational institution's management.

The experimental method consisted of two experiments: one for calculating the VO2 max in the laboratory and another for testing the shooting accuracy of the 7-meter throw. A total of 36 handball players who specialized in shooting the 7-meter throw participated in the current study. They were divided into three equal groups in terms of training age, VO2 max level and the shooting accuracy of the 7-meter throw at rest time. Their average age was 24.1±3.2 years, their height was 177±23 cm, and their weight was 72±4.3 kg. We used three Canon Eos 80D cameras, a Scout Cortex lactate device, and Kinovea 0.9.5 software for performance evaluation. The study's results revealed a statistically significant effect of multiple rates of VO2 max on some mechanical variables, lactic acid concentration, and shooting accuracy of the 7-meter throw among handball players, with a negative effect that increases when the rates of VO2 max become greater at the level of significance (α = 0.00). In light of the study's results, the researcher advised handball coaches to work on increasing their players' VO2 max levels or delaying their players' access to higher levels of VO2 max to avoid an increase in the concentration of lactic acid in the blood and, as a result, a decrease in the players' abilities to perform the 7-meter throw skill. According to the results of this study, they should also consider the use of pauses and substitutions during matches to ensure that players do not reach levels of up to 65% of VO2 max.","PeriodicalId":44430,"journal":{"name":"Sport TK-Revista Euroamericana de Ciencias del Deporte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76854656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, evaluating spinopelvic alignment in the sagittal plane with pain level, functional disability and frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) in PFPS has not been adequately addressed. The aim of the study was to identify the correlation of spinopelvic parameters with pain level, functional disability and frontal plane projection angle in women with PFPS. This was a cross–sectional study involving sixty female patients diagnosed with PEPS, with a mean age of 32±6.47. The measurements used in the study included: radiographic parameters (X-Ray), the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), the Arabic anterior knee pain scale (AAKP/Kujala) and the 2D-FPPA. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between these parameters. The results of our study demonstrated a strong positive correlation of lumbar lordosis (LL) with pain level and FPPA (r=0.825, r=0.812, p=0.0001). Also, a strong positive correlation of sacral slope (SS) with pain level (r = 0.0.820) and FPPA (r= 0.783). Pelvic tilt (PT) showed a moderate correlation with pain level (r = 0.0.614) and FPPA (r= 0.605), while a weak negative correlation was found between LL, SS and PT and functional disability score (r=-0.397, r=-0.385 and, r=-0.215 p=0.002). It was concluded that LL, SS and PT were significantly related to the pain level, functional disability and frontal plane projection angle in women with PFPS.

Results of all study groups (I, II, and III) showed a statistically significant decrease in the volume of subserosal and intramural leiomyoma post US application (p>0.05).

We used a descriptive, correlational, and survey approach to collect and analyze the data. The tests were applied on 40 fencers from the junior category (under 17 years old) in Diyala and Baghdad Clubs during the 2017-2018 season. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for statistical analysis. The majority of relationships between the results of the performance of the simple direct attack skill of the fencers and their physical and motor abilities were statistically significant (p < 0.05). So, most of the physical abilities and their various forms, as well as the motor abilities, have great contributions to the performance of the skill. We also have found the significance of the model’s coefficients (F = 12.672, p = 0.000), thus showing that the morality of the model confirms its efficiency. In conclusion, the effective relationships of physical and motor abilities were limited to the performance of the simple direct attack skill (straight) of junior fencers in: strength characterized by speed for the two legs, running (20 meters), accuracy, kinetic response, transitional speed with progress, transitional speed by retreat, endurance speed with progress and retreat, and agility.
