The Effect of Qualitative Exercises to Develop Motor Response Time in Delivering and Receiving the Stick in the Relay Race for Third Stage Students

This study seeks to prepare qualitative exercises to develop the motor response time of the skill of handing and receiving the stick in the relay race for the third stage students, and to identify the effect of specific exercises in improving the motor response time in the skill of delivering and receiving the stick for the relay race for the members of the research sample The researcher used the experimental method for one group in order to suit it to solve the nature of the research problem, and the research community was represented by the students of the third stage at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences – University of Babylon, while the research sample included (10) students of the third stage, the number of them was (35) and they were selected by the deliberate method, after conducting the pre-test of the research sample, the main experiment was applied on 21/1/2025, which coincides with Tuesday at (11:30) am, on the members of the research sample, and the researcher took into account the gradual in the applied exercises and focusing on the correct performance by giving appropriate rest between repetitions so as not to affect the correct performance, and then the performance The repetitions are high and proportionately and the application of exercises for motor response continued at the rate of one training unit per week for (20-25) minutes and for (8) weeks, after the post-test was performed under the same conditions, and the most important conclusions were that there was a weakness in the motor response time of the members of the research sample in athletics.
