Abstract

One of the priorities of scientific research is to identify the objectives intended to be achieved through the study. Accordingly, the present research aimed to identify the effectiveness of using interactive strength training and its effect on some physical abilities and the straight left punch among boxing players. In order to achieve the research objectives, the experimental method was adopted using a design of experimental and control groups with pre- and post-tests, as it was the most appropriate for the nature of the research problem and its sample. The research sample was intentionally selected and consisted of young boxers from Baqubah Club, with a total number of (13) players, where the experimental group included (6) players and the control group also included (6) players, while one player was statistically excluded due to non-compliance with the training units. After completing the field procedures, obtaining the results, and statistically analyzing them, the researcher concluded that the use of interactive strength training has a significant and positive effect on some physical abilities and the straight left punch among boxing players. Based on these results, the researcher recommends that coaches incorporate interactive strength training exercises into their training units.
