Abstract

The research aims to identify the possibility of distinguishing between strength tests (characterized by speed and explosiveness) for sports practitioners. The sample consisted of (100) players distributed on clubs (Al-Fatwa football, Mosul football, Mosul municipality football, Mosul municipality basketball, and Nineveh governorate volleyball team). As for the research tools, they included field tests for the two characteristics of strength, speed and explosive power. It included (21) field tests, of which (11) were designed.- Factor analysis of strength tests characterized by speed and explosive power for sports practitioners concluded to seven factors.- Using factor analysis, repetition did not have a basis for distinguishing between tests, as it represents the force characteristic of speed or explosive power, in absolute terms, but rather it appeared in relative terms.-The part of the body participating in the test had a clear impact on the appearance of factors at the expense of the repetition of performance in the tests.- The seven factors that emerged from the factorial structure of sports practitioners called the following names: The first factor (muscular ability of the vertical jump). The second factor (muscular ability of the arms). The third factor (muscular ability of the horizontal jump). The fourth factor (muscular strength of the arm and trunk). The fifth factor (the speed characteristic of the arms). The sixth factor (the speed characteristic of the abdominal muscles). The seventh factor (the speed characteristic of the legs and trunk).
