Experimental study on the development of coordination capacity of football players by means of dance

Abstract

Coordination represents a major complex capacity, decisive in achieving and improving technique and tactics, as well as in applying them under unusual conditions. Many consider that coordination is an inherited trait, that can nevertheless be considerably developed, especially if the training for this purpose starts during childhood.
A successful programme for the coordination development must be based on acquiring a great variety of skills. New activities have been experimented in this respect, in our case skills of the samba dance.
