Organization of the educational and training progress at the initial stage of beach soccer

The article examines the organization of the educational and training process of athletes at the initial stage of the long-term training system in the beach soccer. The emergence of this type of sport is due to increasing attention to a healthy lifestyle, popularization of physical activity, rational combination of work and rest. The search for new forms of leisure to combine sports and recreation led to the emergence of a new group of beach sports: beach volleyball, handball, football. These types are rapidly spreading in the world due to their availability, availability of geographical conditions for development in many countries of the world, spectacularity and commercial attractiveness, development of the resort business.
 Beach football is based on the rules of the game of big football. According to its characteristics, beach football combines two types of football – traditional and futsal. The physical training of the players is similar to football, and the tactical interaction is similar to futsal. The emergence of a new sport, an increase in the number of competitions, and the desire to increase sports achievements require scientific research in the training of high-class beach soccer athletes. The initial stage of preparation is an important phase for children to increase the interest in beach soccer and requires thorough planning. At the initial stage, the feeling of joy and satisfaction from practicing this sport is formed, which will give an opportunity to work hard to achieve sports peaks in the future. The main task at this stage is the harmonious physical development of pupils, increasing the level of their functional readiness and motivation for classes in the sports school. This stage requires the coach-teacher to have in-depth knowledge of the physiology of the child's body and age-related psychology and the use of special pedagogical training methods. Peculiarities of the dribbling technique and heavy physical exertion during the game on a sand court necessitate the development of special programs of physical, technical, and tactical training for this sport, which are reflected in the plan-scheme of the annual training cycle.

BALL KICKING BIOELECTRIC ACTIVITY OF MUSCLES IN STUDENTS PLAYING SNOW FOOTBALL

Aim. The article aims to explore the features of a ball kicking bioelectric activity of lower limbs muscles in students playing snow football. Materials and methods. 30 males aged 21–25 years old were examined (3–4-year students): the control group consisted of 15 people playing football; the main group included 15 people playing snow football. Athletes kick a ball on a normal and on a slippery surface, imitation of a slippery surface was carried out using a GYMSTICK Power Slider 61131-PRO slide board. To record the bioelectric activity of the muscles, the Neuro-MVP-4 multifunctional computer system was used (Neurosoft, Ivanovo, Russia). The bioelectric activity of the calf muscles (the medial lateral head of the calf muscle), the rectus femoris muscle, and the adductor longus muscle was studied. Results: It has been shown that athletes playing football and snow football have different and largely opposite motor stereotypes of intermuscular coordination when kicking the ball in usual conditions. When this action is repeated under unusual conditions, stereotype distortion is observed. Football players are characterized by a partial stereotype distortion, while people playing snow football are almost completely disorganized on a normal surface. Conclusion: Football training for students playing various types of football should be carried out in different conditions and implement various strategies. In particular, it should be aimed at various muscle groups. Ball kicking in unusual conditions should be used carefully, as this can be accompanied by a negative transfer of skills and reduce the effectiveness of athletes’ performance.

The Influence of Soccer Playing Surface on the Loading Response to Ankle (P)Rehabilitation Exercises.

Contemporary synthetic playing surfaces have been associated with an increased risk of ankle injury in the various types of football. Triaxial accelerometers facilitate in vivo assessment of planar mechanical loading on the player. To quantify the influence of playing surface on the PlayerLoad elicited during footwork and plyometric drills focused on the mechanism of ankle injury. Repeated-measures, field-based design. Regulation soccer pitches. A total of 15 amateur soccer players (22.1 [2.4]y), injury free with ≥6 years competitive experience. Each player completed a test battery comprising 3 footwork drills (anterior, lateral, and diagonal) and 4 plyometric drills (anterior hop, inversion hop, eversion hop, and diagonal hop) on natural turf (NT), third-generation artificial turf (3G), and AstroTurf. Global positioning system sensors were located at C7 and the mid-tibia of each leg to measure triaxial acceleration (100Hz). PlayerLoad in each axial plane was calculated for each drill on each surface and at each global positioning system location. Analysis of variance revealed a significant main effect for sensor location in all drills, with PlayerLoad higher at mid-tibia than at C7 in all movement planes. AstroTurf elicited significantly higher PlayerLoad in the mediolateral and anteroposterior planes, with typically no difference between NT and 3G. In isolated inversion and eversion hopping trials, the 3G surface also elicited lower PlayerLoad than NT. PlayerLoad magnitude was sensitive to unit placement, advocating measurement with greater anatomical relevance when using microelectromechanical systems technology to monitor training or rehabilitation load. AstroTurf elicited higher PlayerLoad across all planes and drills and should be avoided for rehabilitative purposes, whereas 3G elicited a similar mechanical response to NT.

FOOTBALL SPORTS WEEKLY AND IRISH SOCCER, 1925–1928

The 1920s was a time of significant growth in Irish soccer, and for 3 years Football Sports Weekly recorded the development of new clubs, new leagues and new competitions. It provided a platform for fans and players alike to discuss the game, its future direction and current concerns. It gave Irish soccer a critical, informed voice, and strived to look beyond Ireland and Britain and towards the continent, to the type of football played in ‘Europe’. There was a new dynamic in Irish soccer, and Football Sports Weekly drew its energy and optimism from it. At the same time, Irish soccer found itself in a country that had recently broken away from the United Kingdom, and where soccer was seen as a British game. This paper will describe and analyse Football Sports Weekly, placing both it and soccer within the political and cultural realities of Ireland at that time.

OVERPAID ATHLETES? COMPARING AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN FOOTBALL

Sports fans often complain that the stars they watch are “overpaid” relative to their performance. This article examines this claim by analyzing the relationship between player pay and performance in two major sports: American Football and European football. The essay considers the structure of payment and the distribution of salaries revealing that the National Football League (NFL) has greater restrictions on its labor market than has European football. Since the NFL labor market is restrictive, many players have salaries that are below the amounts that they contribute to team revenues. In contrast, European football has a more open labor market with few restrictions and salaries of European footballers are broadly in line with performance and contribution to team revenues, although overpayment can still occur. In both types of football, growth and distribution of broadcast revenues are important factors determining player salaries. The gap between “superstars” and “journeymen” has widened in both NFL and European football and this poses questions for salary management in each sport.

Read and React: The Football Formula

This essay is focused on the problem of vision and intelligence in football (soccer). One-touch play is the type of football that we are to see more often in the future. To prepare the players for such play, both managers and coaches must notice the importance of technical speed and tactical creativity.

Injuries in Eleven Selected Sports

All the clubs for 10 sports in the four northern counties were surveyed for injuries for a whole playing season and a 50% sample of the badminton clubs were surveyed in the same way. After the two types of football, hockey comes third in the injury league with women getting injured mostly in the legs, but men in the upper part of the body. Protective padding for hockey players' legs is suggested. Finger injuries and occasional concussion are characteristics of cricket and sprains and strains of badminton. The severity rate in fencing was low with an occasional superficial cut. Cycling was safe, but when an accident did happen it usually produced multiple abrasions as can be readily understood by anyone who has fallen off a bicycle. Boxing and judo did not produce many injuries, but when they did, they were severe, and needed a relatively long time (on average 3 weeks) off sport. But, paradoxically the medical attention which they attracted was better than that attracted by the minor injuries of the other sports. Rowing and swimming were both very safe sports, notwithstanding the potentially hazardous nature of water. The injuries in sub-aquatic activities seemed to depend upon the club rather than upon the sport itself, which suggests that rather more careful supervision may sometimes be necessary.The range of injury produced by sport is so wide—from a bruise to a brain injury—that it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the hospital accident room is the right place to receive the injured player in the first instance. From here he can, if necessary, be routed to another department for more specialized treatment.Introducing more first aid training into sport, at, perhaps, the level of club officials, players themselves, and in addition, regular supporters will be the most useful steps which can be taken in the management of sports injuries.

Factors Affecting Place-Kicking in Football

Abstract This study is an attempt to determine by experimentation with a mechanical kicking machine the effect of the following factors upon the place kick for distance: the point of the impact of the toe on the ball, the size of the angle between the kicking leg and the vertical at the time of the impact, the size of the angle between the long axis of the football and the vertical at the time of the impact, the type of football used (rubber or leather), the use of the detachable rubber kicking toe, the placement of the laces, and the inflation pressure of the football.
