The effect of special exercises using the Verti Max device on some physical abilities and physiological indicators of football players

Abstract

The aim of the research was to prepare special exercises using the (Verti max) device in some physical abilities and physiological indicators of football players and to identify the effect of exercises using the (Verti max) device in some physical and physiological abilities. The researcher used the experimental method with two equal groups, the control and the experimental, and with pre- and post-tests. The research sample was chosen intentionally, and they are the players of the North Oil Club for the advanced category, numbering (20) players divided into two groups. The training program was applied to the experimental group and included (24) training units and lasted for (8) weeks. After the training program ended and the data was obtained, it was statistically processed using the statistical package (Spss). The researcher reached several conclusions, the most prominent of which is that the development of some physical abilities under the influence of the Verti Max device affected the development of some physiological indicators such as heart rate and lactic acid concentration in the blood. The researcher recommended the necessity of using modern devices that measure physiological indicators during training units.
