Abstract

The long jump competition, as a motor activity, is considered one of the simplest activities to perform, especially in the first stages of learning, and it is popular and most common in its practice. The research aims to identify the effect of Proprioception exercises, some physical variables, and Numerical level of long jump Athletes with Mental Retardation. The experimental method was used. The research was applied to a sample of the mentally Retardation at the Gezira Youth Center Club. The sample number reached (25 players). They were divided into two groups, one experimental (10 players), one control (10 players), and the exploratory sample (5 players). The program was applied using Proprioception. Exercises for (8) weeks with (3) weekly training units, the most important results of the research resulted in that Proprioception exercises had a positive impact on some physical variables (speed, coordination, balance, agility, flexibility, and muscular ability of the legs), and Numerical level of long jump Athletes. The most important recommendations were the use of Proprioception exercises, Neurotransmitter to improve physical abilities, and digital level for Mental Retardation long jump athletes.
