Abstract

The diversity of the training requirements makes it imperative for the coaches to find the latest training methods that will raise the level of the players, and functional strength training is one of the modern exercises used in sports training. The importance of the research lies in an attempt to raise the level of performance of the forward Somersolt skill for young players, by improving their physical and motor capabilities by organizing functional strength training aimed at developing some of these capabilities, through which the player can achieve good results and perform physical and skill duties in the best way. The researcher used the experimental method, and the research was applied to a sample of (26) beginner gymnastics players, aged (16-18) years. The researcher used functional tests as a means of obtaining information for the purpose of designing a training curriculum in order to develop some bio-kinematic variables and the skill of the forward Somersolt  for the experimental group and for (30) training units, then the post-test was conducted.
The researcher concluded:
1- The functional strength exercises led to the development of the biokinematic variables and the performance of the forward Somersolt  skill in the research sample.
2- The development in the biokinematic variables led to the development of the performance level of the forward Somersolt  skill in the research sample.
3- The diversification of exercises and the use of auxiliary tools contributed significantly to the development of the performance level of the forward Somersolt  skill of the research sample.
