Abstract
The aim of this article was to monitor and improve the number of steps on speed through a 12-week training program for young players in the city of Elbasan. The 12 week training intervention was carried out with the focus on biomechanical running parameters and mainly on the densities of the steps during the training sessions. The participants in this study were 28 younger players 15.1 ± 0.3 years (control group and intrusion group). The speed time (50m sprint) was evaluated during the sprint test (50m) and also the anthropometric parameters (weight, height, body fat in percentage) were measured at both study times (first T1 measurements and T2 second measurements). Skin thickness measurements were used to estimate the percentage of the body fat of the child. Data from the analysis on this research study by groups show that there is an improvement in mean values for step counts from T1 to T2 as follows; for control group by 1.3 steps (SD 0.8 seconds; t= 4 p=0.01) while for intervention group there is an improvement also by 2.8 steps (SD 1.1 steps; t= 5.7 p=0.005). Finally, statistical analysis show a significant difference in improvements (T1 to T2) between groups for the number of steps (p= 0.03) in favor of the improvement of the intervention group.
