Effects of soccer training on health-related physical fitness measures in male adolescents

Abstract: PurposeThe aims of this study were to (1) investigate the health-related physical fitness profile of untrained adolescent boys in comparison to adolescent soccer players, (2) determine the intensity and enjoyment of 6 v 6 and 4 v 4 small-sided games, and (3) evaluate the health-related effects of a short-period of soccer training in the untrained group.MethodsForty-one adolescent boys (untrained, n = 24: age = 15.9 ± 0.6 years; trained, n = 17: age = 15.7 ± 0.7 years) were recruited. For Purpose 1, the players… Show more

“…The practice of physical activities is related to improvement of healthrelated physical fitness (AFRS), which includes components associated with health promotion or disease prevention, better performance in daily activities, including cardiorespiratory fitness, strength and muscular resistance, flexibility and body composition. High levels of physical fitness are associated with benefits, especially for adolescents, such as positive association with academic performance [5][6][7] .…”

“…In the preadolescent (Montesano, Mazzeo, Tafuri, 2016) period between ten and twelve years the trainingtraining phase begins, in which the specific technical skills (Budde et al, 2008) are stimulated and acquired. The training process (Hammami, 2018) will then consist in the acquisition of mastery and the exact execution of all the fundamental technical gestures, by virtue of a systematic training (that is, by means of numerous repetitions of the desired gesture). The task of the coach-instructor will be to support the attitudes of young athletes by proposing exercises with increasing difficulties (Molina, Oriol, Mendoza, 2018) and workloads, not forgetting the repetition of the technical gestures learned favoring the definitive assimilation and automation specially with the game.…”

“…Therefore, participation in physical activities is of paramount importance for the benefits of mental health and also for prevention of mental disorders (Sarmento, 2015). Recent studies show that many adolescents and children do not reach the recommended level of physical activity to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and physiological disorders (Hammami, Randers & Kasmi, 2018). Studies investigating health-related physical fitness benefits have focused on aerobic exercises such as treadmills, open-air runs or bicycle ergometer on a regular basis in participating to physical activity (Duvivier et all., 2013).…”
