Abstract

It is already clear the importance of resistance training with elastic bands to improve the level of performance compared to more traditional drills. So the present study aimed to identify the effect of functional resistance drills with elastic bands on some of physical and biomechanical variables and kicking accuracy in soccer junior. Experimental method was used; (pre-test & post-test), with a single experimental group, from fifteen soccer Junior (aged 17.54 ±0.7 years, body mass: 67.84 kg, height: 171.53cm) constituted one experimental group. and (5) junior for pilot study (n=15), functional drills and the pretest–posttest are done during specific prep phase of training with duration 10-weeks training program for (3 training units per week for 2hrs), Repetition (8-12), and (3-5) sets. after the functional resistance drills finish, biomechanical analysis was performed using motion analysis Program (win analyze) computer-assisted. It was a post-test to compared the pre-test by using statistical procedures: (Mean - standard deviation – Median - Coefficient of Skewness – T-Test ), and discussion it was possible to conclude the Functional resistance training using elastic bands has improved values of the biomechanical variables under study in post-test, it is improved performance of kicking in front of the front foot on goal, as well as led to kinetic bonding between the leg joints (Hip- Knee- Ankle) in backswing and impact phases while kicking performance. Study shows that there are statistically significant differences between the mean (pre-test and post-test) measurements of the study sample, with pre-test at the level (0.05) in all physical variables and accuracy and kick timing, this is confirmed by the results this study, where Static balance (3.632 s) Muscle strength for back extensors mean was (70 Kgf), Muscle strength for legs extensors mean was (131 Kgf), Quadrant jump test mean was (3.166 s), High jump from stability mean was (76.33 cm) Illinois agility mean was (11.530 s), Accuracy kick mean was (4.833 Deg.) and Kick timing mean was (0.278 s).

Highlights

  • Soccer is one of the most widely played sports in the world, from a physiological point of view, soccer is a highintensity, long-lasting intermittent exercise, match is (2 round of 45–50 minutes interspersed by 15-minute rest) that relies predominantly on aerobic energy pathways and muscular endurance. (Bernardo et, al., 2009), [2] Soccer is perhaps the most demanding of all sports

  • Muscular Strength plays a significant part in performance of such skills, where Soccer practice suggests that a soccer player needs to improve a level of strength, which is utilized effectively during competition

  • A good example of this are athletes who have a strong, powerful lower body, but do not reach full potential in vertical jumping due to weakness in the core part of the body. [10]. It is already clear the importance of resistance training with elastic bands to improve the level of performance compared to more traditional drills

Summary

Introduction

Soccer is one of the most widely played sports in the world, from a physiological point of view, soccer is a highintensity, long-lasting intermittent exercise, match is (2 round of 45–50 minutes interspersed by 15-minute rest) that relies predominantly on aerobic energy pathways and muscular endurance. (Bernardo et, al., 2009), [2] Soccer is perhaps the most demanding of all sports. Implementation of baseline study: functional resistance drills by using elastic bands has been applied, during the specific preparation phase of the training program for kicking performance for soccer junior, in the period from 14/01/2013 to 22/03/2018 for [10] weeks by (3 training units per week for 2hrs), Repetition [8,9,10,11,12], and [3,4,5] sets. 3- Core Strength and Stability Drills - High Back Extension: Grab the TRX handles and step back away from the anchor point while facing it, creating tension on the straps with palms facing down, hand close to shoulder.
