The effect of advanced specialized training on some individual skills and individual tactical movements of junior football players

Abstract

The current research aims to know the effect of advanced specialized training on some individual skills and individual tactical movements of junior footballers. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research, and the experiment was implemented on a sample of players emerging from the year (2022-2023), and they were chosen intentionally. They numbered (29) players, ages (14-16) years, and were divided randomly into two groups, with (10) players for each group, after (10) players were excluded from them. (6) players for scouting and (3) players for being goalkeepers. The two groups were equal in the variables (under research). The experimental design was adopted, which is called the design of equal groups with an experimental design with two pre- and post-tests. The researcher used the following statistical methods: (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test for associated samples, test (t) for independent samples). The researcher concluded that the advanced specialized training led to development in some individual skills and individual tactical movements for young football players, and that the use of advanced specialized training greatly helped in developing all variables related to the research.
