Speed-specific leg muscle strength is the primary physical skill required by the athletes of the triple jump, this skill will be developed through suggested exercises based on ballistic training. In addition, the study will follow how these suggested exercises affect insulin-like Growth Factor-1 hormone (IGF-1) and how much impact they have on the ability of athletes to perform this sport. However, the research challenge crystallized by choosing the training approach based on ballistic resistance exercises, which involve a combination of quick strength training with weights, measuring their impact on the biochemical and physiological variables under study to enhance the performance of the research sample. According to the researcher's assumption, there is a positive impact of adopting ballistic training on the development of speed-specific strength, insulin-like Growth Factor-1 hormone (IGF-1), and the achievement of the research sample. The triple jump team of the Anbar Governorate, consisting of (5) players, served as the researcher's purposive training method. The researcher concluded that the training methodology used has caused variations in the level of the variables under study, because these are crucial for finishing the triple jump activity, thus, he advised the importance of monitoring the athlete's speed-specific strength, and hormone levels of (IGF-1).
