Development of speed motor quality in the sports training program for high school students through the game of handball

The modern game of handball is played at full speed, at a fast pace, which requires intense physical effort. The speed of execution, movement and reaction, the specific physical strength, the precision of execution of lunges and changes of direction, the general mobility and suppleness required in the execution of the most complicated movements, the strength in throwing the ball, the coordination and balance, the feel for the ball, which gives security in catching, throwing, the precision in making passes and throwing at goal. It is necessary to master technical procedures so that they can be applied during the game in conditions of combat and speed with the opponent. The aim of the research is to identify and use methods to develop motor skills such as strength, stamina, skill and, in particular, speed, which is the basis of the game of handball. In the second phase of the research, during the period 01.09.2023- 30.05.2024, we have set the objective to implement the model training program for the development and improvement of the motor quality speed. The sample consists of the control group (30 students from the Bucovina Forest College, Romania) and the experimental group (30 students from the Technological High School No.1 Campulung Moldovenesc, Romania). Methods used in the research: literature review, documentation, observation, test method, pedagogical experiment, mathematical-statistical method. The stages of implementation of the pedagogical experiment include the following: Stage 1. 01.09.2023-10.09.2023 - anthropometric measurements. Stage 2. 10.09.2023 - 20.09.2023 - initial testing. Stage 3. 20.09.2023 - 30.04.2024 - implementation of the model training programme (technical procedures, tactical actions, game systems, etc.) in the experimental group with the students of the Technological High School No.1 Campulung Moldovenesc: 2-3 training sessions per week (2 hours for each training session). Stage 4. 30.04.2024 - 15.05.2024 - final testing. Stage 5. 15.05.2024 - 30.05.2024 - analysis and final processing of the data obtained. The expected results relate to the effectiveness of the experimental training program, applied to high school students, in terms of developing speed quality through the game of handball.
