Optimization of Football Resistance Capacity in Juniors at High School Sports Program in Galaţi

Abstract

The novelty and the trends in the football game are highlighted by a series of specialists (Motroc, 1994, Manoloche, 2005, Dragan, 2006) who appreciate that football is currently evolving increasingly towards a game of force speed, forgetting in some cases the technique-based football.
Better training methods, innovations by coaches, players, and interdisciplinary specialists on sports training factors, and even changes in regulation have made changes in the dynamics of football play (Dragan, 2006). High performance football through its individual and collective expression is a phenomenal "art", but training in training must be done scientifically, based on precise rules that support the continued growth of game quality (Manolache, 2005). Through the chosen theme, the work aims at: highlighting the main causes that lead to poor results in testing the effort / resistance capacity of 17-18 year olds; selecting and proposing appropriate means to increase the value of motor skills and in particular the resistance indicators of 17-18 years old footballers from (LPS) High School Sports Program) Galati.
For the investigated group, several experimental action systems specific to the football game were selected and applied to increase the aerobic effort of the junior footballers. The footballers involved in this experimental study practice football for at least 8 years and have participated in specialized competitions for their age. Lesson duration was 90-120 minutes, 5 times a week. The results of the initial test of the Cooper test and the "20-meter resistive climb test" with 1 minute ranges indicate that the LPS Galati, players tested had an average aerobic effort capacity, with real chances to increase performance If suitable means are used to prepare them to optimize the resistance of junior footballers. At the same time, the analysis of the results resulted in the formulation of the working hypothesis and the selection and application of specific actuation systems that contribute to the increase of the resistance indicators of the investigated sample.
Following the application of the drive systems specific to the development of resistance capacity, the results of the athletes included in this experimental study were evaluated and received very good marks, both in terms of the distance traveled and the maximum volume of O2 consumed in effort.
