The Objective of the study Analysis and Use of Physical Characteristic Tests in the Training Process for Football Players of Different Ages is to develop the physical characteristic profile of Football School (FS) "Metta" football players based on the data analysis of the applied study, and to assess the practical application towards the improvement of the training process. The authors conducted a study involving n = 61 football players (boys) in U14 age group, as well as n = 55 football players in U15 age group and n = 52 football players in U16 age group. All participants were tested by using a flying 20 m sprint test, and a modified T agility test and YYIR test (U14 and U15-1 st level and U16-2 nd level). U15 FS "Metta" football players are 1.7 km/h faster than U14 players and these differences are statistically reliable (p < 0.05) with an average effect size (d = 0.94). When comparing results obtained from both groups in YYIR1 and T agility tests, the differences are statistically reliable but with a low effect size: 290 m (d = 0.51) and 0.16 (d = 0.41) respectively, in favour of U15. Differences between U15 and U16 in the T agility test (turns to rights and left) are statistically reliable (p < 0.05) but with low effect size: 0.22 (d = 0.59) and 0.25 (d = 0.58) seconds respectively. U15 football players of FS "Metta," who have been included in the first team, exceed the average indicators in the physical characteristic profiles. In terms of speed, the player is close to the average adult level (~30 km/h).
