COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NEAR SHOOTING FROM JUMPING BY THE LEG (THE WEAK- THE STRONG-THE DOUBLE) AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SHOOTING STRENGTH IN HANDBALL

Abstract Handball is considered one of the very fast games both in the ball passing or shooting it and as the number of goals is the borderline to end the game, shooting to the goal is purpose of the handball game, so the shooting skill is considered one of the most important basic skills and all the skills become useless unless unfinished by shooting the goal. The research aims to identify the differences between near shooting from jumping by the leg (weak, strong, double). As well as to identify the relationship between the near shooting from jumping by the leg (the weak- the strong -the double) and the strength of shooting of the players of the University of Baghdad and Al- Mustansiriya of handball and the participants in the championship of the Iraqi universities for the season 2013-2012. The research hypotheses included that there are a statistically significant differences between the shooting from jumping by the leg (the weak- the strong- the double) and in favor of a strong man. And there was a significant correlation between the shooting from jumping by the leg (the weak- the strong- the double) and in the favor of the strong leg, and the is a significant relationship between the shooting from jumping by the leg (the strong ? the double) and the shooting strength and non-significant correlation relationship between the shooting from jumping by the weak leg and the shooting strength by the handball. The most important conclusions of the research is to achieve research hypotheses, and the adoption of the players on the strong leg in the shooting without the adoption of alternative options, such as using the weak leg in the shooting to get rid of the defensive positions which makes the loss of scoring opportunities during performing the skill of shooting is very unlikely.
