The Harmonic Capabilities for the Students of Physical Fitness Courses in the Faculty of Sport Sciences at the University of Mu'tah

Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the harmonic capabilities for the students of physical fitness courses in the Faculty of Sport Sciences at the University of Mu'tah, in addition to identify the differences between bath ginders in these harmonic capabilities. The researchers used the descriptive method according to its compatibility and according to the nature of this study .The study sample consisted of (53) male and female students who were selected randomly .These students took number of tests in order to measure harmonic capabilities (numbered circles, running around cones test, throwing and receiving balls, kicking the ball towards the wall, speed of the link between different movements total coordination). Statistical methods of arithmetic means, standard deviations, t-test for independent samples and pearson correlation coefficient were used to reach to the study results. The results of the study  showed that there were statistically significant differences with regard to numbered circles test, running around cones test, throwing and receiving the  balls test (using the right hand, the left hand and both hands), and kicking the ball towards the wall (using the right foot) test, within the test of kicking the ball towards the wall for both feet attributed to the variable of sex; the arithmetic means show that the differences were in favor of males because of the presence of more repetitions in favor of males.

The study results showed that there were no statistically significant differences with regard to the test of kicking the ball towards the wall (using the left foot) and the test of the speed of link between the different movements total coordination attributed to sex variable.

The study recommends to adopt motor exercises that promote the overall level of harmonc capabilitles for the students, especially, for those freshman student  because this factor has a positive impact on so many skills and sport games in general.
