| Abstract | ||
| The current research aims to design a training program for agility of handball junior players less than 14 years and to identify the effects of rest intervals on improving various agility variables (ability to learn - ability to direct - ability to adapt and change). The researcher used the experimental approach (twogroup design) with pre- and post-measurements. Participants (n=20) were purposefully chosen from junior handball players (less than 14 years) of Tanta Sports Club. They were randomly divided into two groups (experimental = control = 10). The researcher chose (12) players from Baladiat Al-Mahalla Sports Club as a pilot sample. Results indicated that the recommended training program improved the agility variables of experimental group as improvement percentages were 9.15%, 10.33% and 15.46% for ability to adapt and change, ability to learn and ability to direct respectively. Relatively longer rest intervals (2-3 min) led to improvements of all agility variables for the experimental group < /span> | ||
