t the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences/ University of Baghdad a doctoral dissertation was discussed by student Walid Salim Nasser. The dissertation titled “Construction and Standardization of a Physical-Motor Test Battery for Applicants to the Police College” in the field of Testing and Measurement. The discussion committee consisted of:
– Prof. Ammar Abbas Atiyah / Supervisor
– Prof. Nada Nabhan Ismail / Member
– Prof. Ruaa Allawi Kazem / Member
– Assist. Prof. Noor Hatem Rida / Member
– Assist. Prof. Khaleel Sattar Mohammed / Member
– Assist. Prof. Laith Mohammed Abdulrazzaq / Member and Supervisor
The significance of the research lies in constructing a modern devised physical-motor test battery aimed at selecting new applicants for the Police College. The first chapter included an introduction that addressed the development of physical fitness and the importance of physical and motor abilities in enhancing the physical aspect of Police College students. The second chapter covered theoretical studies on topics such as the test battery, the concept of physical fitness, physical fitness for internal security forces, a brief overview of the development of physical fitness for internal security forces, the elements of physical fitness and their importance to internal security forces, the importance of training for internal security forces, physical and motor abilities of internal security forces, a brief overview of the Iraqi Police College, and the Police College Law No. 37 of 2000.
The study’s conclusions, reached by the researcher, involved constructing a physical-motor test battery for admission to the Police College. Six factors were identified through matrix analysis and the use of orthogonal rotation via Kaiser’s varimax method. Five factors were accepted, interpreted, and named as follows: (1) hand strength endurance, (2) endurance, (3) agility, (4) speed-strength, and (6) speed, while the fifth factor was excluded.
