Abstract

The research aims to try to identify the impact of using functional strength exercises on developing the performance level of skill, FLOB 360, on a pommel horse under the age of 13. The two researchers used the experimental method in a manner (pre- and post-tests) to two groups, one is experimental group and the other is control group. The sample was chosen by the propulsive (intentional) method from the gymnasts in Kazma Sports Club and Kuwait club in Kuwait under the age of 13 for the sports season 2012/2013 The total sample size of the main research was (12) players trained together, and after the end of the training session they were divided into (6) players, as an experimental group, where the functional strength exercises were applied on them to a time period ranging between (15 to 20 minutes), and (6) players as a control group where the exercises were not applied on them. The two researchers have used the tests and measurements of functional strength and the evaluation level of the skill’s performance. The results revealed that the use of functional strength exercises; improve the level of skill performance (FLOB 360) on the pommel horse. The two researchers recommended applying the functional strength exercises the same intensity, repetitions and rests for gymnasts for its role in improving the level of skill performance (FLOB 360) on the pommel horse.
