Setting standard levels for the achievement of some physical fitness elements among students of the College of Basic Education at the University of Mosul.

Abstract

The study aimed to establish standard scores for the level of achievement in some elements of physical fitness among students of the College of Basic Education at the University of Mosul. The researchers used the descriptive method with a correlational survey approach due to its suitability and the nature of the research. As for the research community and sample, the research community included students from the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the College of Basic Education, University of Mosul, numbering (247) students, and female students were excluded from the study, as the researchers selected the second, third, and fourth stages, and their number was (247).Lists of student names as a sample for the research using the purposive method, and 30 students using the systematic random method (lottery) as a sample for the exploratory experiment. The following tests were used: throwing a 2 kg medicine ball from the chest while sitting, standing long jump, bending and extending the arms from the inclined position within 10 seconds, continuous forward long jump for 10 seconds, Nelson test for reaction speed, lowering and raising the arms within 20 seconds (standing), bending and extending the knees (sitting) for 90 seconds, push-ups from the front leaning position (plank) until exhaustion, zigzag running between hurdles 2x5 in the shape of &, bending the trunk forward and backward from standing, running in the shape of ∞ under the bar for 4 laps.The researchers used statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, independent samples t-test, deviation coefficient, self-validity law, percentage law, mode, skewness coefficient, standard levels). The researchers reached the conclusion to establish standard levels that divide the sample into three sections, each according to the level of achievement.
