The Effect of Athletic Mental Energy on Psychological Skills and Attitudes toward Soccer

For optimal performance in soccer, high-level technical, tactical, and physical competencies are required, but they are not enough. Research shows that successful athletes apply psychological skills for high performance and need the presence of psychological aspects in sports. In this context, in addition to physical characteristics in soccer, psychological aspects should also be at a high level and in a solid structure. Therefore, the training of mental processes is very important in soccer. This paper explored whether soccer players’ athletic mental energy (AME) mediated their psychological skills in soccer (PSIS) and attitudes toward soccer (ATS). It established a hypothetical model examined by means of the Sobel test. The sample was composed of 295 soccer players from the Turkish 2021-22 soccer leagues. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Soccer Psychological Skills Scale-16 (SPSIS-16), the Soccer Attitude Scale (SAS-26), and the Athletic Mental Energy Scale (AMES). Participants’ ATS were positively correlated with their AME and PSIS. Their AME was positively correlated with their PSIS. Moreover, AME mediated PSIS and ATS. The findings verified the model. Trainers and coaches must brief soccer players about the relationship between AME, PSIS, and ATS. The theoretical model will bring innovation to the field of sports sciences, pave the way for further research, and will contribute to the literature.

The Effects of Different Training Interventions on Soccer Players’ Sprints and Changes of Direction: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Objective: To compare and rank the effects of different training interventions on the sprint and change of direction (COD) abilities of soccer players using a network meta-analysis. Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched for papers published up to June 2022. Inclusion criteria: (1) No distinction was made between nationality, region, or gender. No distinction was made between physical activity times or habits. Healthy and disease-free soccer players (age ≥ 18 years old) were eligible. (2) Different training methods and their combinations were used. (3) Groups of either no training or single training, or combined training were included. (4) Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. (5) The outcome indicators included at least one of the following: sprint, agility, and change of direction (COD). Exclusion criteria: (1) studies in non-English were not included. (2) Individual studies, general public studies, literature review studies, qualitative studies, case studies, and studies with unclear data such as means and standard deviations were not included. (3) Studies using the same data were not included. (4) Interventions that could not be statistically analyzed because of insufficient numbers of studies were not included. RCTs that satisfied the inclusion criteria were included. Paired analyses and network meta-analyses were performed using random-effects models. The included studies were assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) metric was used to rank the effectiveness of each treatment and identify the best treatment. Results: The network meta-analysis (NMA) included eleven RCTs with a total of two-hundred and seventy-seven participants and six interventions: plyometrics combined with sprint, agility, and resistance training (P+T+S+A), plyometrics combined with sprint and agility training (P+S+A), resisted sprinting combined with agility training (RS+A), plyometric training (P), resistance training (T), soccer skills, and a strategy training control group (C). P+T+S+A ranked highest in terms of improving soccer players’ 10 m sprint performance (SUCRA = 70.2%) and COD (SUCRA = 75.0%). P+S+A ranked highest in terms of improving soccer players’ 20 m sprint performance (SUCRA = 69.8%). Conclusions: Based on the network meta-analysis, for combined training, P+T+S+A was more effective at improving the sprinting and COD ability of soccer players. In the single training mode, plyometric training was the most effective. To improve sprint and COD ability, P+T+S+A should be chosen. Such improvements may be expected after P+T+S+A interventions for a duration of six or more weeks. However, gender, competitive level, and other factors will affect the assessment results. Given the limitations of the above analysis, these results should be interpreted with caution.

Urinary Metabolomics in Young Soccer Players after Winter Training Season.

During the off-season, soccer players in Korea attend the winter training season (WTS) to build running stamina for the next season. For young soccer players, proper recovery time is needed to prevent injury or muscle damage. In this study, urinary metabolites in young players after 1, 5, and 10 days of the WTS were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) combined with multivariate analysis to suggest appropriate recovery times for improving their soccer skills. After NMR analysis of the urine samples obtained from young players, 79 metabolites were identified, and each group (1, 5, or 10 days after WTS) was separated from the before the WTS group in the target profiling analysis using partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Of these, 15 metabolites, including 1-methylnicotinamide, 3-indoxylsulfate, galactarate, glutamate, glycerol, histamine, methylmalonate, maltose, N-phenylacetylglycine, trimethylamine, urea, 2-hydroxybutyrate, adenine, alanine, and lactate, were significantly different than those from before the WTS and were mainly involved in the urea, purine nucleotide, and glucose-alanine cycles. In this study, most selected metabolites increased 1 day after the WTS and then returned to normal levels. However, 4 metabolites, adenine, 2-hydroxybutyrate, alanine, and lactate, increased during the 5 days of recovery time following the WTS. Based on excess ammonia, adenine, and lactate levels in the urine, at least 5 days of recovery time can be considered appropriate.

The theoretical result is confronted with the practice of the controlled experiment on 18 young soccer players in 32 weeks with stabilization protocols. Results The fitness and soccer skills of the young men improved significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Core strength training can promote the overall fitness of young soccer players. This training protocol for core strengthening achieves the primary goal of improving athletes’ competitive ability and fitness. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.

Acute enhancement of executive functions through cognitively challenging physical activity games in elementary physical education

This study examined the effects of cognitively challenging physical activity games on students’ executive functions and situational interest in physical education. Participants were 144 fourth- and fifth-grade students (75 boys, 69 girls) from four elementary schools. A four-group, repeated measures, cross-over quasi-experimental design was used in this acute experiment including a physical education session. One fourth- and one fifth-grade class from each school were randomly assigned to Group 1 with cognitively challenging physical activity games, Group 2 with a session for teaching soccer skills, Group 3 with a session for teaching track and field skills, and Group 4 (waiting-list control group) with cognitively challenging physical activity games after the post-test. Pre- and post-test measures for executive functions and a post-test measure for situational interest were included. Group 1 students, who were involved in cognitively challenging physical activity games, improved their scores in the executive functions more than students who participated in the sessions with soccer or track and field skills and waiting-list control group students. The positive effects on students’ executive functions were replicated when the cognitively challenging physical activity games session was implemented in the waiting-list control group. Some improvements on executive functions for students who participated in the soccer skills session were found. Students who played the cognitively challenging physical activity games reported higher scores on novelty compared to students in the soccer or track and field groups. These results support the effectiveness of the cognitive challenging physical activity games for triggering students’ executive functions in physical education.

The effectiveness of recreational activities in learning some fundamental football skills for students

The importance of the research was crystallized in helping some students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences to develop some of their basic skills in football, where recreational activities raise the level of skill. Therefore, students can engage in various recreational activities that lead them to learn basic soccer skills. The problem with the research is that most of the learning is done in the light of the usual methods and lesson plans. Uses techniques that can teach students basic soccer skills. However, this does not lead to awakening students' inclinations in the required way, especially in the initial phase. This stage is accompanied by difficulties and the lack of time to learn the skills required. The aim of the research:

Bilateral Training Improves Agility and Accuracy for Both Preferred and Non-Preferred Legs in Young Soccer Players.

As laterality of the lower limbs is regarded as a relevant influence on soccer performance, we assessed whether a bilateral training program for both the preferred leg (PL) and non-preferred leg (NPL) would improve soccer players' lateral asymmetry, agility, and accuracy. Sixty right-foot-dominant young soccer players were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (EXP) that underwent bilateral training or a control group (CONT) that performed their usual training schedule without bilateral exercise. We assessed the players' lateral asymmetries before and after training on four soccer skill tasks: a zigzag test with and without a ball, a receiving and direct volley-shooting accuracy test, and a passing accuracy test. Results showed post-test versus pre-test performance improvements for the EXP group on the index of technical skills and agility (p < .001). A post-hoc analysis further revealed a pre-test to post-test performance improvement on shooting and passing accuracy with both legs only for the EXP group (p < .001). These results support the role of bilateral practice in improving lateral asymmetries, agility, and accuracy.

There are significant differences in the results of the two post-tests for the two research groups. The research sample was represented by a group of third-year students for the year 2021/2022. The researcher used the experimental research method for its suitability to the research problem and its objectives, and the results reached by the researcher were presented, analysed and discussed, which showed the superiority of the post-tests over the tribal tests, which indicates the achievement of the research hypothesis. This is done using the competitive learning method.

Fundamental Movement Skills and Physical Fitness Are Key Correlates of Tactical Soccer Skill in Grassroots Soccer Players Aged 8–14 Years

One hundred and twenty-one children (58 boys and 63 girls) aged 8–14 years (mean ± SD = 12 ± 1 years) who were regularly engaged in grassroots soccer participated in this study. Participants undertook assessments of fundamental movement skill (FMS) using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3, perceived ability using the Perceived Physical Ability Scale for Children, physical fitness via 15-m sprint time, standing long jump distance, and technical skill using the university of Ghent dribbling test. The Procedural Tactical Knowledge Test was employed as a measure of tactical skill from which metrics for positioning and movement and recognizing spaces were derived. Maturation was determined from anthropometric measures. Analysis of covariance examined gender differences in tactical skills accounting for FMS, fitness, perceived ability, technical skill, maturation, and age. Results indicated no significant differences in tactical skills between boys and girls (p &gt; .05). For recognizing spaces, 56% of the variance was explained with FMS (p = .001), physical fitness (p = .02), and technical skill (p = .02) contributing to the model. For positioning and movement, a significant model explained 55% of the variance in this element of tactical behavior with FMS (p = .002) and technical skill (p = .02) significantly contributing to the model.

Effects of mental fatigue on technical performance in soccer players: A systematic review with a meta-analysis.

BackgroundMental fatigue largely influences technical performance in soccer, including offensive and defensive skills. However, these effects on technical performance among the soccer players have not yet been aggregated to be assessed systematically.ObjectiveThe purpose of the review was to evaluate the impact of mental fatigue on soccer players' overall technical skills.MethodsDrawing on Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCOhost (CENTRAL and SPORTDicus), an in-depth search was conducted. PICOS established the eligibility criteria to select the studies as follows: (i) population—healthy soccer players; (ii) intervention—involving any mental-fatigue-prompted protocol; (iii) comparison—control conditions (active or passive without inducing mental fatigue); (iv) outcomes—technical performance (offensive and defensive skill); and (v) study design—randomized controlled trials.ResultsA total of eight studies were qualified for inclusion in the systematic literature review. Overall, the results indicate that mental fatigue had significant effects on technical skills, including offensive and defensive skills. Specifically, there were significant effects on errors (ES = 0.977; p < 0.001), number of tackles (ES = −0.739; p = 0.005), and the percentage of successful tackles (ES = −0.628; p = 0.022), while there were no significant effects on the number of passes (ES = 0.240; p = 0.328), the percentage of accurate passing (ES = −0.008; p = 0.985), and the number of successful passes (ES = −0.322; p = 0.217).ConclusionOverall, a significant effect of mental fatigue on the technical performance (e.g., tackles and errors) of soccer players was detected, while no significant effects on passing skills were detected. Future studies may consider investigating technical performance together with other important results (e.g., decision-making skills or internal load).Systematic Review Registrationhttps://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-2-0008/, Inplasy protocol 202220008.

The effect of proprioceptive training on technical soccer skills in female soccer

Development of perceptual-cognitive motor skills is a crucial factor influencing soccer training and competition. The aim of the study was to examine the effects of neuromuscular coordination, proprioceptive and balance exercises on physiological attributes and technical skills in female soccer. Female soccer players competing in Greek A Division (N = 48) were assigned to intervention (N1 = 24) and control groups (N2 = 24). The Proprioceptive Training Intervention Program (PTIP) lasted approximately 20 min and was implemented five times per week for 16 weeks. It was hypothesized that the PTIP in addition to a regular training programme would significantly affect female soccer player perceptual-cognitive-motor capability as it was estimated with physiological attributes ([Formula: see text]O2max and agility) and motor performance soccer technical skills (juggling, heading, shooting, passing, and dribbling). All performance variables were measured prior and after the 16-weeks PTIP. Groups by Measures (2 × 2) ANOVAs with repeated measures on the second factor revealed that the intervention group decreased percent body fat and improved [Formula: see text]O2max and all technical skills in comparison to the control group after the PTIP ( p &lt; 0.05). The findings demonstrate the beneficial role of a proprioceptive training programme on both physiological attributes and technical skills in female soccer. Practical implications include the application of the intervention programme for monitoring and developing soccer players while also the use of the assessment tests to evaluate players.
