Abstract

Objective: The aim of the research is to prepare skilled mental exercises according to spatial and temporal perceptions and the awareness of the strength of young pole-vaulters, and to recognize the impact of these exercises on improving the indicators of electrical activity of working muscles and some special physical abilities and accomplishing this effectiveness

Research methodology: The researcher used the experimental curriculum (one experimental group), and included the sample of research on (5) two joint jumpers in the Iraqi club championship, all from the center of talent in athletics, the sample is trained on the same curriculum prepared by the coach himself but accompanied by a mental training approach that Prepared by the researcher

Results: The results indicate the development of the muscular capacity of the working groups responsible for the effective lifting of the two men as a corner movement centered on the hips towards achieving attachment and decoration to the technical situation that serves the economy of movement to achieve the greatest range and speed with the stick of adultery and to continue at this speed with the least self-insufficiency of the body to maintain the acquired momentum of the body after attachment and decoration

Conclusions: The mental training associated with skilled training is very effective in the development of the strength of the muscles working by performing pole vaulting, and the importance of both (physical, mahar and mental training) in improving the motor performance of pole vaulting.
