Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 22, Issue 59
Abstract
[b]Aim of the study.[/b] Among most valid, however little known, aspects of sport studies are selection and training of talented children. From this viewpoint the assessment of sport achievement predictors of various motor fitness indices seems to be crucial. The study aims to verify a hypothesis about the impact of selected coordination abilities on playing effectiveness in children at the introductory training stage.[b]Material and methods.[/b] The sample comprised 18 boys from the ODRA Schoolboys Football Club from Wroclaw, Poland, who took part in the Wroclaw Junior Football League organized by the Lower Silesian Football Association. The boys, all aged 12 years (± 0.5 year), were at similar sports and health level. Playing effectiveness was measured with the help of one-on-one games. The measured coordination motor abilities (CMAs) included: 1) static balance, 2) dynamic balance, 3) kinesthetic differentiation.[b]Results.[/b] The levels of examined coordination motor abilities do affect the playing effectiveness of young football players in one-on-one games. All noted correlations were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05).[b]Conclusions.[/b] The tests of coordination abilities are important for training and selection of young football players however a new, more useful dynamic balance test should be developed.
