Study on the improvement of physical training a of the under 17 football players acting on the side area
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to improve the physical preparation of the Under 17 juniors of the LPS Galati football team, who activate on the side area of the field, by using the side-area specific games in the preparation of players. The two groups involved in the experiment are LPS Galați and Supporter Club Otelul Galați, teams registered in the National Republican Junior Championship. The experimental research took place on the Siderurgistul Stadium in Galați, pitch with standard dimensions and with a synthetic surface, which did not influence the training program. The experimental program included three training sessions per week, during July – December 2022. For the assessment of the subjects we applied the following tests, approved by the Romanian Football Federation: speed (agility) – shuttle run 4×10 meters; Endurance -running 12 minutes; Strength – jump. The statistical analysis was carried out with the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics program, version 23. The results confirmed the viability of the training program, recording statistically significant differences (p <0.05) in favor of the experimental group, compared to the control group.
