The effect of a proposed training program using integrated training in developing some basic skills among U17 football players

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effect of a proposed training program using integrated training in developing the performance of some basic skills (passing accuracy - shooting accuracy - running with the ball) among football players under 17 years old. The study was applied to two teams belonging to the second regional of the Batna League, on a sample of 30 players, selected intentionally, 15 players from the Djamora team (experimental group), and 15 players from the Branis team (control group), where the proposed training program was applied on the experimental group, while the control group underwent the regular training program. We used the experimental method to suit the nature of the study, and we relied on physical tests as a tool for measurement(3 skill tests), by conducting a pre-test for the two groups, then applying the proposed training program for 6 weeks, after we conducted the post-test for the two groups. By conducting the necessary statistical processing, the study concluded the following results: The proposed training program using the integrated training method has a positive effect on improving the performance of basic skills (passing accuracy, shooting accuracy, running with the ball) in the study sample, as the members of the experimental group outperformed the members of the control group in all skill variables, and the test results showed the superiority of the experimental group in the post-tests compared to the control group Keywords: proposed training program - integrated training - basic skills - football players
