Exercises according to the indicators of the foot scanner device and its impact on some physical abilities related to performing the hurdle step and completing the 110-meter hurdles for elite men.

Abstract

The importance of the study lies in improving the level of weakness in some physical abilities that affect the completion time of the 110-meter hurdles for advanced athletes, in an attempt to achieve the best results through the integration of specific physical abilities and biomechanical indicators, particularly for the runners of this event. The research problem was summarized by the fact that most training is based on physical aspects without considering the mechanical aspects. By diagnosing and identifying the weaknesses in the special strength of the event during the hurdle crossing process, which are attributed to the weakness of some biomechanical aspects in the performance of the research sample, the researchers decided to determine the values of the biomechanical variables using a foot scanner to set exercises and understand their impact on some specific physical abilities, such as the hurdle step and the completion of the 110-meter hurdles for elite male athletes.The research hypotheses were:

1. There are statistically significant differences in the results of physical abilities in the pre- and post-tests of the research sample in favor of the post-test.

2. There are statistically significant differences in performance in the pre- and post-tests of the research sample in favor of the post-test. As for the fields of research, they were as follows:

1. Human field: Elite athletes in the men's 110-meter hurdles event in the second round of the 2021 Iraq Clubs and Institutions Championship, totaling 3 athletes.

2. Temporal field: The period from 2021-04-13 to 2021-06-23.

3. Spatial field: The Specialized School of Athletics Stadium (Ali Hussein Stadium) / Ministry of Youth and Sports. As for the research methodology, the researchers used the experimental method, and the research sample consisted of 3 athletes representing the elite in the men's 110-meter hurdles event in the second round of the 2021 Iraq Clubs and Institutions Championship.The most important conclusions were that the values of physical abilities have developed through the evolution of biomechanical variables and that they also have an impact on performance. The most important recommendations were to pay attention to biomechanical variables in conjunction with physical abilities due to their impact on performance.
