Abstract

The researcher conducted a study aimed at designing a proposed program to improve the strength ratios of the quadriceps muscle and the hamstrings muscle as an indicator of muscular balance. The research relied on the experimental method by designing a pre-post measurement for one experimental group. The study was conducted on a random sample of 12 third-year female students of the faculty of Physical Education In the academic year 2022-2023. The pre- and post-measurements were conducted with the 3RM test for muscle strength using weight training machines, and the results of the research were improving the strength ratios between the quadriceps muscle and hamstrings muscle and improving the muscle balance ratio between the quadriceps muscle and the hamstrings muscle. Therefore, the researcher recommended the importance of muscle strength training in all training programs and the necessity of paying attention to strengthening the hamstrings muscles as well as their front counterparts (quadriceps) to achieve muscle balance
