Abstract

This study aimed to identify the values of some kinematic variables that influence the achievement time in the 4 × 10 m shuttle run test within the King Abdullah II Award for Physical Fitness. Additionally, the study examined the relationship between these variables and the achievement time. To achieve this, the researchers used a descriptive approach with eight healthy male students from first Zarqa education. The participants were recorded using two Sony HDR-CX220E video cameras at a speed of 50 frames per second. The study examined the following variables: stride length, stride frequency, rotation time, the high gravity center of the body at the moment of repression, average speed, and efficiency index. The results showed that the average stride length was 1.11 meters, representing approximately 76% of the average height of the participants. The average number of steps was 36.25. Additionally, the study revealed a statistically significant correlation between the completion time and both the average speed and the efficiency index. The findings also indicated that variables such as average speed, stride length, efficiency index, and step frequency could explain 100% of the variance in the dependent variable, which is the completion time. The researchers recommend that physical education teachers consider the findings of this study to improve training and performance.
