The objective of the research is to prepare exercises using sponges to increase the elasticity of the working muscles to perform the human wheel skill on the treadmill in the technical gymnasium. Use the experimental method with tight control and design of the two equal groups with pre0-test and post-test. The sample of the study was the third stage students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Science for Girls-University of baghdad and the number of (38) students. The sample was selected by random sampling. After homogeneity and equivalence, the pre working muscle rubber tests were performed by the Stretch Sensor. After applying the exercises and conducting the post-tests, the researchers concluded: The use of sponge cylinder as part of the warm-up and final part of the lecture process has effectively contributed to the increase of elastic muscles operating short period of time corresponds to the time of the semester. Sponge cylinder exercises have a positive effect in the development of the technical performance of the skill of the human wheel on the treadmill device due to the evolution of rubber working muscles.
Therefore, the researchers recommend using spongy cylinder exercises in similar new research with other sports events and other age groups. And the use of sponge cylinders in sports training curricula.
