Sports injuries are the most dangerous indicator facing both teams and players. This research aims to study the effect of elastic band exercises in the rehabilitation of triceps brachii muscle injuries, which are common and impactful injuries, among handball players with injuries in their preferred arm. The research population was represented by players from Baghdad clubs who suffered from partial rupture of the triceps brachii muscle, numbering (10) injured players, who represent the original population. A rehabilitation program of 24 rehabilitation units was applied, with a focus on using various elastic bands and graduating the difficulty of exercises from easy to difficult, ensuring the recovery of the injured muscle and the restoration of its full function. The study results showed that rehabilitation exercises using elastic bands had an effective impact on improving muscle strength tests and reducing the degree of pain in the research sample. The results also confirmed that the development in muscle strength of the triceps brachii muscle is closely linked to the disappearance of pain, which indicates that the positive effect of rehabilitation exercises in reducing or eliminating pain led to a clear improvement in the range of motion of the injured joint.
