The effect of using S.A.Q. training on the improvement of special physical abilities and the achievement level of middle-distance runners

The study aimed to identify the effect of using S.A.Q training on improving the specific physical abilities and achievement level of middle-distance runners. The research sample was chosen: the Palestinian athletics team players, who numbered (3) players. The most important results: There were statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-measurements and in favor of the post-measurement of the training program using the S.A.Q training for some tests, namely the vertical jump test from stability. The foot jump tests the farthest distance (10) seconds, the test of throwing a medicine ball weighing 3 kg, and the dangling test for the longest possible time. 4×10-meter shuttle run test. There were no statistically significant differences for the rest of the tests, and the average percentage of improvement for special physical abilities together was 28.48%. While the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-measurements in favor of the post-measurement, the percentage of improvement for the achievement level of the 1500m race amounted to 2.66%. The researcher recommends: Adopting S.A.Q training as a basic training methodology for middle-distance runners. Circulate the publication of these results to the authorities related to athletics, especially the Olympic Committee and the various Palestinian federations, because of the benefit of these training and their targeting of speed and agility in many games. 2. Directing the Palestinian Athletics Federation towards the importance of S.A.Q training and using them in their training programs. It is necessary for the Ministry of Education to make increased efforts towards S.A.Q training, so that teachers in schools must use these training, which have a positive contribution to the players` ability.
