THE EFFECT OF USING COORDINATION ABILITIES PROGRAM ON SOME PHYSICAL & SKILL VARIABLES IN GYMNASTICS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT STUDENTS AT PALESTINE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

The study aims to determine the effect of developing coordination abilities on some physical and skill variables for students of physical education department. To achieve this aim, the study was applied on a purposive sample of physical education students (40 students) enrolled in gymnastics. The researcher used the empirical method. After application of the empirical program on members of the empirical sample and ordinary program on members of the control group, it was found that the proposed training program for coordination abilities applied on the empirical group had a positive and significant effect on developing physical abilities which had a positive and significant effect on enhancing the level of skill performance. Accordingly, the researchers recommend that it is necessary to develop coordination abilities for their importance in enhancing special physical characteristics which are effective in enhancing technical performance.
