Abstract:

The field of sports training and its scientific principles is among the fields that have shown interest in the realm of physical education alongside other sciences in terms of field applications aimed at enhancing athletic levels across various skills and activities. Achieving high athletic standards and victories has become not an easy feat, as the athletic level in most activities has reached high standards in terms of technique and tactics. Among these sports is the athletics event in general and the 200m sprint for youth in particular, which has seen significant the majority of countries have experienced some form of development around the world. Recent years have witnessed increased interest in researching and investigating new methods and approaches in training athletes, in addition to relying on scientific foundations for determining the selection process of athletes who possess the predispositions and capabilities to practice the sport and predict their future levels. The descriptive method with correlational and predictive styles was used to suit the nature of the problem on athletes of Al-Tadamun Sports Club in athletics for the season (2023), with a total of (15) players. The researcher used the following tests: speed and agility measurement, heart rate measurement, blood pressure measurement, and respiratory rate measurement. The researcher concluded with deriving a final predictive equation that can predict the achievement level in the 200m sprint based on some functional indicators and the level of certain motor abilities of the runners. The researcher recommended that the research results be adopted and utilized by athletics coaches to understand the level and expected achievement of runners based on the measurement of some functional variables and physical abilities, and conducting similar research and studies by researchers to study the prediction of skill performance level based on some functional indicators in runners.
