Objectives: This study aimed to identify the level of nutritional awareness and its impact on sports activity from the viewpoint of students of the Department of Physical and Health Education at Al-Ahliyya Amman University. Methods: The researchers used the descriptive method and questionnaire to collect data. The study sample consisted of 132 male and female students from the department of Physical and Health Education at Al-Ahliyya Amman University, and this sample represented 88.6% of the study community, which totaled 150 students. The study used arithmetic averages, standard deviations, percentages, T-tests, Cronbach's alpha equation, and regression coefficient analysis. Using Analysis of Variance and the F-test to analyze the results of the study. Results: the results showed a high level of nutritional awareness among students, and also confirmed a statistically significant relationship between the level of nutritional awareness and the practice of sports activity، the level of nutritional awareness and its effect on sports activity varied in the variables of sex, school year, age and weight. Conclusions: The study recommended the need of increasing courses related to nutrition for athletes to increase awareness of the importance of nutrition among specialists in this field.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare a 10-week period, in which strength training (five weeks) was followed by plyometric training (five weeks) or the other way around among handball players. Hypothesis: Performing strength training first and then plyometric training will improve lower body strength and performance more than the reverse training sequence. Methods: Thirty-six young handball players voluntarily participated in this research. Pre and post test data (running, changing direction, jumping, strength, throwing, and endurance) were compared between groups using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. SPSS was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The results imply that a precise training regime for plyometric and strength training in young handball players is not required. Thus, strength and conditioning training plans created for the youth handball group can be effective regardless of the training regimen. Furthermore, when boosting back squat performance is the main objective, the outcomes of the contemporary research imply that completing plyometric training before a strength-centered training phase may be useful. Conclusion: It is concluded that professionals arrange training schedules to enhance athlete compliance and concentrate on the most important results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
