The Anthropometric and Physiological Characteristics of Young Algerian Soccer Players

Abstract

Summary Objective: The aim of this paper was to describe the anthropometric and physiological characteristics of young soccer players (U13) which were associated with their being successful or not as soccer players, and also to determine standard levels in the light of a test battery and indicators to select and guide the young talents as a scientific means to facilitate the selection. Method: A total of 390 soccer players age (U13). From 14 Algerian soccer clubs were enrolled and subjected to standard anthropometric, fitness (speed 20m, CMJ, skills-related performance testing. The testing battery will be described as will the process for converting test data into standardized scores. Data will be presented to show the strengths and weaknesses of some players. Result: After analysing the results based on the standard criteria for the proposed tests as well as the overall performance variable. And the ability of each youth to be selected according to their potential, and therefore it was stressed that the proposed criteria, which are scientific support for the field observation, should be emphasized to facilitate this process for Algerian soccer players. The findings from this study indicate that marked improvements and parameters associated with physical maturity such as height, weight, speed, VO2max, or chronological age are important to determine the success of a soccer player. At older ages, other factors such as agility seem to be more important. Nevertheless, players born in the 1st semester of the year are also more frequent in the older teams. These findings should be taken into account by trainers and coaches in order to avoid biasing their selection choices.

Investigating the Impact of Physiological and Neuromuscular Performance in Highly Trained Judo Athletes of Different Weight Categories

“…However, a study did not find any correlations between VLA n and DLS with the %FCmax obtained one minute after the SJFT, suggesting that HR may not be a good indicator of aerobic capacity [46,58,59]. Although the absolute HR values obtained after the test were lower than those reported in other studies with elite judokas [44,60,61], This suggests that the athletes in this study may have greater or equal cardiovascular capacity to return to the pre-exercise state than those in the other studies, but in those investigations, HR was not related to indices of aerobic capacity.…”

Characteristics of Handgrip (Kumi-Kata) Profile of Georgian Elite Judo Athletes

“…This occurs mainly in objects that are too small for the handgrip to be used or where there is space restriction, inadequate body posture or a peculiar orientation of the object to be manipulated (Mohammed et al, 2018;Sterkowicz et al, 2016). Thus, it appears that in high level judokas (Ache Dias et al, 2012;Beboucha, Belkadi, Benchehida, & Bengoua, 2021), the dominant hand is conditioned to predominantly perform the full Palmar-Plena and Dígito-Palmar grips and the non-dominant hand to perform DPLPG grips, with less use of the palm grips (Yahia, 2020). When comparing the parameters of the strength-time curve of the identified grip types, between the dominant and non-dominant hands, no differences were found between any of the studied parameters, which reveals the ability of high-level judo athletes to perform hand grip similarly with both hands.…”

Efektivitas latihan squat jump terhadap kemampuan shooting pada permainan sepakbola

“…Peran pelatih untuk mendampingi atlet pada saat latihan sangat perlu untuk dapat mengevaluasi hasil latihan agar lebih maksimal (Beboucha et al, 2021;Rusli, 2021). Serta akan menyajikan kemampuannya dalam memanfaatkan program latihan atau bahan materi yang dapat dilakukan melalui proses melatih dan mengajar, dan yang paling terpenting dapat mengontrol penguasaan keterampilan terutama pada kemampuan fisik menjadi faktor utama yang dapat mempengaruhi kesiapan atlet pada saat bermain sepak bola (Subarja et al, 2022).…”
