The Relationship between Agility; Eye-Foot Coordination; Leg Muscles Strength and Soccer Dribbling Skills of Football School (SSB) Players

Abstract

Lack of good dribbling skills will affect soccer match victory. The researchers aimed to determine the relationship between eye-foot coordination, leg muscle strength, agility, and the dribbling skills of 20 Football School (SSB) players. Research data were collected using the eye-foot coordination test, leg muscle strength test, mobility test, and dribbling skill test. The data was analyzed using the product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed a significant relationship between the eye-foot coordination and dribbling skills of SSB players. Also, there was a substantial relationship between leg muscle strength and dribbling skills of SSB players. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between agility and dribbling skills of SSB players. Lastly, SSB players had a significant relationship between eye-foot coordination, leg muscle strength, agility, and dribbling skills. This study concludes that good dribbling skills become the basic requirement for soccer players.
