Abstract

The research aims to identify effect of visual exercises on speed of motor response and accuracy performance of straight volley drop shot of squash players.

The researcher used the experimental method by applying the proposed training program to squash players, by designing the two equal groups, the first experimental and the second controlling, using the method of pre and post measurements, which is considered appropriate to achieve the objectives and hypotheses of the research.

The research sample amounted to (18) players registered in the Egyptian Squash Federation under (13 years), they were divided into two groups, one experimental and the other controlling, and its strength was (6) players for each group from the Armed Forces club, and the exploratory sample amounted to (6) players from the Mansoura University Club.

The most important results were that the use of visual exercises within the training program had a positive effect on speed of motor response and accuracy performance of straight volley drop shot among the players of the experimental group under investigation with an impressive difference from the control group.

The most important recommendations were that the use of modern technologies for optical stimuli (BLAZEPOD) in developing sports performance in squash and all other sports, and taking into account the wearing of eye-protective glasses during visual, skill and planning exercises, preferably with medical lenses instead of plastic to preserve the eye and so that the vision is clear.
