Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of sports participation on certain anthropometric measurements and some physical and motor characteristics among male students aged 13-15 years old, both those involved and those not involved in school handball teams at the intermediate level. The researcher used the descriptive survey method, with the research sample consisting of male students aged 13-15 years old, both involved and not involved in school handball teams, from the intermediate schools of Hammamet Municipality, Tebessa Province. The sample of involved students was selected purposively, while the sample of non-involved students was selected randomly. Each sample consisted of 36 students. After identifying the physical and motor qualities (endurance, agility, flexibility, speed) by experts and specialists and determining the appropriate physical and motor tests for them (endurance: 5-minute break test, agility: 4 x 10m shuttle run test, flexibility: trunk bend test from standing forward down, speed: (20) meters run test from high start), the measurements and tests were carried out and after using the appropriate statistical means, and through the results obtained, the researchers concluded that there were significant differences in some anthropometric measurements (weight - height - body mass index) and some physical and motor qualities (endurance - agility - flexibility - speed) under investigation between male students who were and were not involved in school handball teams aged (13-15) years, in favor of those who were involved.
