Abstract

Egan, et al. (2007) showed that skilled players tend to score more during a moving-ball condition than during a dead-ball condition with respect to their less skilled counterpart. The aim of study was to evaluate the effects of 10-week of coordination training (CT) on physical and soccer abilities in amateur soccer players. Seventeen amateur soccer players participated to study and they randomly divided into two groups: Experimental Group, (EG; n:8; age: 23 ± 5 yrs: weight: 75.0 ± 8.2 kg; height: 181.1 ± 11.5 cm; BMI: 22.9 ± 1.1 kg m2) and Control Group (CG; n: 9; age: 24 ± 4 yrs, weight: 71.1 ± 5.9 kg, height: 176.6 ± 5.0 cm; BMI: 22.8 ± 1.2 kg m2). Both groups continued technical and tactical soccer training together three days (120 minutes/day) a week. EG attended additionally CT (rhythm and soccer specific coordination exercises) through 10-week, 2 days per week, 20 minutes session duration. After 10 week, playing time, physical (YO–YO IR1, counter movement jump—CMJ), and soccer ability (shooting a dead ball, and shooting from a pass) test were compared (p.05). No anthropometric significant differences emerged between groups. Between groups, no differences emerged in playing time, physical, and soccer ability test. After 10 week, the results showed statistical different only in YO–YO IR1 (p.001) and CMJ (p.005) of each groups. To our knowledge, the current study is the first attempt to investigate the effect of a regular CT in soccer players. Considering the results of this study and that, during matches, player constantly adjust his body coordination (i.e. in relation to ball speed and ball position, and the intent of the task goals), further studies are needed to fully elucidate the effects of CT on performance and injuries.
