Abstract

In this study: To preparation the speed training program in accordance with the target time for young age group of female players in Baghdad Governorate, and usage?with them during competition sport events "100m. running" of the effect on developed some variables of it (running step-speed-achievement). The research protocol was carried out with an experimental and a two-equivalent group?(control-experimental) pre-test post-test. The sample: The research community included (10) female young athletes in Baghdad?governorate, who compete in 100 meters run. Two groups (5 athletes per group) were randomly?divided. The pre-tests were conducted by the researchers on the research sample in terms of their?100-meter sprint performance skills. The test was video-recorded?using a camera positioned in the center of the field 140 cm above. Subsequently, the following variables were derived: (number of steps,?step length, and step frequency). The researchers then delivered 8-week?speed training, with three weekly training sessions. High?intensity interval training protocol was performed, by a (80- 95%) of intensity; referred to as (2:1) ripple ratio between sessions and intervals through week21112-11. Posttests were given and analyzed upon completion of the?training. Data were?analyzed by researchers through the statistical software, SPSS. It was found that timed speed resulted?in improved performance for the sprint variables (number of steps, step length, step frequency) in the 100m with implications related to achievement gains.
