Psychophysiological indicators, technical and physical fitness of young football players aged 12-13 and 15-16 at different stages of the training process

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship of psychophysiological functions with indicators of physical and technical fitness of young football players 12-13 and 15-16 years in the preparatory and competitive periods of the annual cycle of the training process. Methods. 24 players participated in the study, 12 of them 12-13 years old; 12 players aged 15-16. Parameters characterizing the psychophysiological state, indicators of the performance of the nervous system and indicators of attention with the help of computer programs for psychophysiological testing are analyzed. Physical fitness level was also determined, determining the level of technical readiness. Testing was carried out at the beginning of the preparatory period and at the beginning of the competition period of the annual cycle of the training process. The interval between the two tests was 3 months. Results. Young players aged 15-16 years in the preparatory period, the total number of reliable relationships between psychophysiological and physical and technical indicators is less than that of young players 12-13 years in the preparatory and competitive periods. In the competitive period, players aged 15-16 years have seen an increase in the number of relationships between psychophysiological indicators and indicators of physical and technical fitness compared to the preparatory period.
