Abstract
It aims to identify the effect of using the International Athletics Federation program for children to develop some physical abilities and teach running, jumping and throwing skills to primary school students in Palestine and Jordan. The sample was chosen deliberately from primary school students in Palestine and Jordan, (N=96) players, (48) students from Palestine and (48) students from Jordan during the academic year (2020-2021). The students fom Palestine wre considered as the experimental group those from Jordan as an experimental group. The researchers used the experimental method by designing two experimental groups with measurements (pre- and post-test) for each group to suit the nature of the research. The training program took 8 weeks, with 3 training units per week.
The results of the study showed differences in the mean scores and an improvement between the pre and post measurements in the physical tests, in the pre and post measurements of the experimental group; In favor of the post measurement, the improvement rates ranged between (6.23 - 18.22%), and the average overall improvement rate for the overall variables was (10.10%), and this indicates the observed improvement in level of physical performance. This confirms that the training program contributed to improving these physical variables among the sample members.
The researchers attribute these improvements to the training program and its contents of exercises related to study skills, which were affected by the stimuli within the program, resulting in continuous improvement in the physical performance of the tests.
