| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to identify the most important physical abilities. So, we can discriminate between the discriminant and non- discriminant junior players of the National Project for Hockey by using these abilities. Also, it aimed to find a Discriminant Function in terms of physical abilities in order to predict the level of the Hockey Juniors. The sample was (62) junior players registered in the National Field Hockey Project at Alexandria Governorate (births 2001 and 2002). The sample was selected by the Random Method. Both researchers used the Descriptive Method in a survey manner. The results showed that the most important physical abilities that discriminate between juniors are (Agility through Barrow Test with the Stick, Maximum Static Power through the Test of the Strength of the Right Fist, Agility through Zigzag Run(measuring the ability of changing direction during running), Cardio Vascular Endurance through Endurance Test, Coordination through the Numbered Circles Test, Flexibility through Bent the Trunk forward from the Static Position, Flexibility by Sit and Reach Test). Both researchers found a Discriminant Function could be used to predict the level of the Hockey Junior Players according to the physical abilities. The success rate of this Function was 100%. | ||
