ABSTRACT

The study aimed to devise a tool for gauging attentional control in futsal players, discerning their varying levels of attentional control, and establishing standardized benchmarks for this attribute. In order to meet these targets, a descriptive approach that incorporated surveys and standard studies, was employed. The research involved players, including those hailing from government and private universities and colleges in Babylon province, encompassing a total of 75 participants across five universities during the academic year 2022-2023. During the attention control test on the devised device, we determined the sample distribution using the extracted range (7) and the base length (1.4). The first category, indicative of a very good level, spanned from (9-7.6), while the second category, representing a good level, extended from (7.5-6.1). The third level, signifying a moderate level, had a range of (6.0-4.6), the weak level ranged from (4.5-3.1), and the ultimate level, indicating a very weak level, ranged from (3.0-1.6). The distribution of the sample across these levels disclosed that 16% attained a very good level (12 participants), 25.33% reached a good level (19 participants), 36% secured an average level (27 participants), 12% were at a weak level (9 participants), and 10.66% were at a very weak level (8 participants). Drawing from these findings, the researchers concluded that futsal players from government and private universities and colleges generally demonstrate commendable attentional control. They successfully engineered a device tailored for assessing attentional control in futsal players and determining standardized scores for the attention control test on this device. Moreover, the futsal players were categorized into five levels to evaluate their attention control.
