Résumé
This study aimed to identify the effect of compound exercises on improving the performance of passing and dribbling skills in basketball among first-year female students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Kufa. An experimental method was adopted, using a two-equivalent-group design (experimental and control) with pre- and post-tests. The sample consisted of (62) female students from two sections selected randomly by lottery. Section (B) formed the experimental group (n = 31), which followed the compound-exercise program, while Section (C) formed the control group (n = 31), which followed the method adopted by the course instructor. The program comprised (8) instructional units over four weeks, at a rate of two units per week. Performance was measured using a timed passing-accuracy test toward wall targets and a zigzag dribbling test around cones. Data were analyzed with SPSS using paired- and independent-samples t-tests at a significance level of (0.05). The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in favor of the post-test for both groups in both skills, with greater improvement in the experimental group. In the experimental group, the mean passing score rose from (26.73) to (29.77) points and dribbling time decreased from (15.42) to (10.12) seconds. In the control group, passing rose from (21.10) to (22.13) points and dribbling time decreased from (16.11) to (13.81) seconds. The post-test comparison also showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in both skills. The study concluded that compound exercises simulating real game conditions are an effective instructional means of developing passing and dribbling skills in basketball among female students, and recommended their inclusion in physical education curricula.
