Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to identify the effect of the training program using medicine balls on the muscular strength of children aged (9-12) years who practice karate in the Gaza Strip. Methodology: The researcher followed the experimental method with one experimental group with pre- and post-measurement. The study was conducted on a sample of (33) Male and female players, (14) female players, and (19) players aged (9-12) years old, all of whom underwent the training program with medicine balls for (12) weeks. Results: all participants participated in a prescribed training program that involved medicine ball exercises. The findings highlighted the distinct and statistically significant differences in muscle strength before and during training interventions, which appeared in independent males and females entered Notably, girls showed the most marked improvement, with a (36.7%) increase in barrier performance compared to (20.3%) for boys and (32.5 %) for boys. compared to (48.8%) increase in lung compression capacity and (13.4%) better improvement in medicine ball throws (upward and forward) compared to (12.19%) for children. however, improvement in broad jumps remained similar at (17.4%) in both sexes. Recommendations: In light of these findings, the study recommends and recommends a focused combination of therapeutic circular exercises to increase muscle strength in young karate practitioners that such targeted training programs be adopted in order to achieve competence of young karate practitioners including different age groups and genders in general.
