Abstract

The current research aims at designing a recommended training program supported with some alternatives of the vast fast-break strategy to identify the effect of using this strategy on improving some physical, technical and tactical characteristics and the effect of training on the three tactical alternatives on the mean of its performance time and the mean of vast fast-break strategy performance time. The researcher used the quasi-experimental approach (one-group design) with pre- and post-measurements. Research community included members of the Middle Delta handball team for 2012-2013 seasons. Subjects (n=24) were junior handball players from Tanta Sports Club Team who are purposefully chosen for this research. They are divided into (4) equal groups (6 players each) as follows: group (1) for the strategy – group (2) for first tactical alternative - group (3) for second tactical alternative - group (4) for third tactical alternative. Each group performed (7) trials. This is due to the nature of team tactical performance. The researcher concluded that tactical alternatives exercises have positive effects on performing the vast fast-break strategy in junior hand ball players as it led to improving several variables like: Physical variables (2.81%: 13.9%) - Technical variables (18.48:57.29%) - Duration of performance for tactical alternatives of the strategy phases (40.98%:41.51%) - Duration of performance of the vast fast-break strategy (40.98%).
