Abstract
The aim of the research was to prepare exercises to develop the speed-characterized strength of the lower limbs. The researcher used the experimental method for one group with a pre- and post-test, on a sample of handball players, who are the players of the Al-Talaba Sports Club for handball for the 2023-2024 sports season, numbering (16) players. The researcher used the method of low- and high-intensity and repetitive interval training in applying the exercises. The exercise time in the training units ranged between (30-35) minutes. The researcher concluded that special exercises have a positive effect on the development of the speed-characterized strength of the legs. Special exercises have a positive effect on the development of fast attack performance among the players in the research sample in handball. The researcher also recommended relying on the results of the research in determining the vocabulary of special exercises in developing the speed-characterized strength and programming it among the players in the research sample in the special preparation stage.
