Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of isometric training on certain physical abilities and performance level in the 100m sprint among first-year students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Zawiya. The researcher used an experimental design with a single group, employing pre-and post-testing techniques. A sample of 20 first-year students, selected purposively from among the top performers in athletics entrance exams, participated in the study. The results showed that the isometric training program led to a statistically significant improvement in the physical abilities under investigation, which positively impacted performance level in the 100m sprint, as evidenced by the improved post-test time compared to the pre-test time.
