Training program influences the relation between functional and neuromuscular performance indicators during the season in young soccer players

The aim of this study was to look into the alleged impact of the physical fitness performance of elite junior soccer players on the professional career according to playing position. The physical tests (sprint test, countermovement jump [CMJ], and maximal aerobic speed [MAS]) performed by 165 players enrolled in the junior team of a Spanish 1st Division club (1998-2010) were evaluated. Players were classified as those who were promoted to the reserve team (Reserve Team) and those who were not (non-Reserve Team), and as those who were promoted to the Spanish 1st/2nd Divisions (PFL) and those who were not (NPFL) until the 2020-2021 season. Overall, no significant differences (p>.05) were found between the Reserve Team and non-Reserve Team or between the PFL and NPFL players in neuromuscular performance. Aerobic fitness was greater (p<.05; ES = .79 ± .60 , moderate; mean difference = 3.0%) for the Reserve Team lateral midﬁelders in comparison to that for the non-Reserve Team. The results suggest that the impact of physical fitness on the promotion of elite junior soccer players is limited.

The study aimed at designing compound exercises using added weight on some skill abilities in youth soccer players aged (17 – 19) years old. The researcher sued the experimental method on (30) players aged (17 – 19) years old from Al Zawraa Sport Club. The subjects were divided into three groups and the training program was applied for (8) weeks with (3) training sessions per week. The data was collected and treated using proper statistical operations to conclude that compound exercises with weights between improved the subjects compared to the groups that did not use the added weights. Finally, the researchers recommended the necessity of using compound exercises using added weights during training sessions for youth soccer players.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pengaruh antara latihan small sided games (SSG) dan interval training (IT) terhadap daya tahan aerobik pemain sepakbola under-17. Sebanyak 24 pemain sepakbola U-17 yang dibagi menjadi 2 grup: grup SSG (n = 12) dan grup IT (n = 12) mengikuti program latihan selama 6 minggu. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah Yo-Yo Intermitten Recovery Test. ANAVA dua jalur digunakan untuk proses analisis data. Pemain dari kedua grup menunjukkan peningkatan yang sama pada daya tahan aerobik selama periodesasi latihan 6 minggu. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa SSG dan IT sama efektif dalam meningkatkan daya tahan aerobik pada pemain sepakbola U-17 (p 0.05). Effect of Small Sided Games and Interval Training on Aerobic Endurance of U-17 Soccer Players AbstractThis study aims to compare the effect of small sided games and interval training on the aerobic endurance of U-17 soccer players. 24 soccer players under 17 attended a 6-week training program divided into 2 groups: SSG group (n = 12) and IT group (n = 12). The research instrument used was Yo-Yo Intermitten Recovery Test. Two-way ANOVA is used for data analysis. Players from both groups showed a similar increase in aerobic endurance during the 6-week training period. These results indicate that SSG and IT are equally effective in developing the aerobic endurance in U-17 soccer players (p 0.05).

Change Of Direction

Background: Change-of-direction (CoD) is a necessary physical ability of a field sport and may vary in youth players according to their maturation status.Objectives: The aim of this study is: to compare the effectiveness of a 6-week CoD training intervention on dynamic balance (CS-YBT), horizontal jump (5JT), speed (10 and 30-m linear sprint times), CoD with (15 m-CoD + B) and without (15 m-CoD) the ball, in youth male soccer players at different levels of maturity [pre- and post-peak height velocity (PHV)].Materials and Methods: Thirty elite male youth soccer players aged 10–17 years from the Tunisian first division participated in this study. The players were divided into pre- (G1, n = 15) and post-PHV (G2, n = 15) groups. Both groups completed a similar 6-week training program with two sessions per week of four CoD exercises. All players completed the following tests before and after intervention: CS-YBT; 5 JT; 10, 30, and 15 m-CoD; and 15 m-CoD + B, and data were analyzed using ANCOVA.Results: All 30 players completed the study according to the study design and methodology. Adherence rate was 100% across all groups, and no training or test-related injuries were reported. Pre-PHV and post-PHV groups showed significant amelioration post-intervention for all dependent variables (after test > before test; p < 0.01, d = 0.09–1.51). ANOVA revealed a significant group × time interaction only for CS-YBT (F = 4.45; p < 0.04; η2 = 0.14), 5JT (F = 6.39; p < 0.02; η2 = 0.18), and 15 m-CoD (F = 7.88; p < 0.01; η2 = 0.22). CS-YBT, 5JT, and 15 m-CoD improved significantly in the post-PHV group (+ 4.56%, effect size = 1.51; + 4.51%, effect size = 1.05; and -3.08%, effect size = 0.51, respectively), more than the pre-PHV group (+ 2.77%, effect size = 0.85; + 2.91%, effect size = 0.54; and -1.56%, effect size = 0.20, respectively).Conclusion: The CoD training program improved balance, horizontal jump, and CoD without the ball in male preadolescent and adolescent soccer players, and this improvement was greater in the post-PHV players. The maturity status of the athletes should be considered when programming CoD training for soccer players.

AbstractThe goal of this study was to assess the effects of a supervised slackline training program in a group of soccer players. Thirty-four male division I under-19 players (16.64 ± 0.81 years) agreed to participate in the study. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The first group (EG) followed a 6-week supervised slackline training program (3 sessions/week; 5-9 min/session), while the CG performed only regular soccer training. Several variables were assessed in all participants: acceleration (20-m sprint test), agility (90º turns test), jump performance (squat jump, countermovement jump), and postural control (Center of Pressure ( CoP) testing: length, area, speed, Xmean, Ymean, Xspeed, Yspeed, Xdeviation, Ydeviation). Ratings of perceived exertion and local muscle ratings of perceived exertions were also recorded after each slackline training session. At post-tests, there was a significant increase only in the EG in acceleration, agility, squat jump and countermovement jump performance, as well as several CoP variables: area in the bipedal support on a firm surface, and length, area and speed in the left leg on a firm surface. The program was rated as “somewhat hard” by the players, while quadriceps, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior were the most exerted muscles while slacklining. In conclusion, slackline training can be an effective training tool for young, high-level soccer players.

European Standards

The article examines the experience of implementation of requirements of the «European Certificate in Psychology» in educational programs of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. The upgrade of educational programs is described in the context of unification with European standards for future psychologists training. Programmatic innovations designed to provide for necessary qualifications and competitiveness of future MA holders. Program consist of modules which include: compulsory subjects aimed at creating general and professional competences, optional subjects, different practices and the final student examination. The purpose of the article is to present the experience of practical implementation of educational and professional training program for practical psychologists as the first one in Ukraine that meets the requirements of EuroPsy. The method of proving the effectiveness of the Program was a statistical comparison of performance indicators and quality of students' knowledge conducted in 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 academic years. A comparative analysis of students' marks obtained during two academic years showed the effectiveness of the program. Estimates show a positive trend with the number of «excellent» and «good» marks increasing by 12.64% and 4.59% respectively, and «satisfactorily» marks decreasing by 8.05%. It was concluded that the main contributing factor in the improvement was the students' training in the program.
