The relationship between young football players' psychological health resources and the psychological quality of their football experiences: A cross-sectional study.

Studies taking a person-centred statistical approach when examining young peoples` psychological experiences in sport is scarce. The main aim of the present study was to examine the relationships between young football players' psychological health resources and the psychological quality of their football-specific experiences. Data for this cross-sectional study was collected as part of the [BLINDED] arm of the larger Promoting Adolescence Physical Activity (PAPA) multi-centre project [1]. The sample consisted of young [BLINDED] male (n = 814), female (n = 576), grassroots football players between the ages of 10 and 15 years (M = 12.5 years, SD = 1.1 years). We performed a latent profile analysis using Mplus 8.4 using a robust maximum likelihood estimator (MLR). Players with the most resourceful psychological health profile experienced more coach social support (mean = 4.38) than did those with a less well-off resourceful profile (mean = 3.79) and those with the least well-off profile (mean = 3.28). Players with the most resourceful profile also felt a stronger sense of unity among their teammates and they enjoyed football more than those least well off (mean = 4.43 vrs. mean = 3.12 and mean = 4.74 vrs 3.50. respectively). Parallel between-profile differences were also found for the players' general health resources including perceived life satisfaction, general health and family affluence as covariates. Findings suggest that variations in young players' psychological health profiles and their general health resources play a role in the quality of their football-specific psychological experiences.

Comparison of two warm-up protocols for physical andtechnical-decisional performance in young football players

Introduction: Warm-up is a primordial element to optimise sport performance in both training and competitions. The main objective of this study was to compare the acute effect of two warm-up protocols for physical and technical-decisional performance in U16 football players. Material and Methods: We applied an integrated warm-up protocol (IWP) of 5 vs 5 in a small space of 20x28 m and an analytical warm-up protocol (AWP) of 12 dynamic exercises that are commonly used in football. Each warm-up was carried out 7 days apart and alternated. After each warm-up, the intensity of the load was recorded through the rate of perceived exertion (RPE), physical performance was recorded using the T30 speed test (time to sprint 30 m) and the kicking speed test, and the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT) was applied, which evaluates the football skills of passing and decision making. Results: The results show greater technical-decisional performance in LSPT (p = 0.020, ES = 0.55 small) after executing the IWP. However, in T30 (p = 0.129, ES = 0.417 small) and kicking (p = 0.374, ES = -0.29 small), no significant differences were observed. Conclusion: IWP presents greater performance in the technical-decisional test of LSPT, and both warm-up protocols have a similar component of intensity and performance in T30 and kicking.

The Association Between Social Desirability and Competitive Anxiety in Young Football Players with Different Qualifications

Background. Sports performance anxiety is understood as a tendency to respond with cognitive or physical anxiety in competitive situations where the athlete's performance can be assessed. Objective. To investigate the role of social desirability and competitive anxiety in male football players with varying levels of skill. The study had two main objectives: first, to assess the levels of social desirability and competitive anxiety in two different groups, and second, to compare the levels of social desirability and competitive anxiety between highly skilled and less skilled players and explore their relationship. Design. Participants were divided into highly skilled (n = 39) and less skilled (n = 39) football players. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used to assess the participants’ social desirability bias. The Sport Competition Anxiety Test assessed the level of competitive anxiety. The t-test for independent samples was used to compare social desirability and competitive anxiety between the groups. A linear regression model was used to determine if social desirability could predict anxiety levels among the players. Results. The t-test showed that highly skilled players have a lower level of competitive anxiety than less skilled participants. However, social desirability did not show a statistically significant difference between the highly skilled and less skilled football players. The regression analysis showed a statistically significant association between social desirability and competitive anxiety (inverse relation) in both groups. Conclusion. Highly skilled football players demonstrated less competitive anxiety than less skilled ones. Lower levels of competitive anxiety are associated with higher social desirability among football players in both groups.

Effect of special exercises using VR4z glasses on some of the compound skills of young football players in Al-Diwaniyah clubs

This study seeks to investigate the importance, and the effect of using special exercises using VR4z glasses on some compound skills and tactical behavior of young football players. Virtual reality glasses are one of the modern means that play an important role in developing intelligence and creating a clear picture of the performance of compound skills. It also has advantages that make the player live the atmosphere of the match in all its aspects, which leads to a high concentration and here lies the importance of research in the development of compound skills during matches. As for the research problem, the authors believe that most of the trainers do not use modern electronic means to develop compound skills through training, rather giving actual exercises on the field only, while the mental aspect is important when training and facilitates the process of mastery. Hence, the authors try to adopt VR4z glasses in the training process through special exercises in order to know the extent of their impact on the research sample. Este estudio busca investigar la importancia y el efecto del uso de ejercicios especiales con gafas VR4z sobre algunas habilidades compuestas y el comportamiento táctico de jóvenes jugadores de fútbol. Las gafas de realidad virtual son uno de los medios modernos que desempeñan un papel importante en el desarrollo de la inteligencia y en la creación de una imagen clara del desempeño de las habilidades complejas. También tiene ventajas que hacen que el jugador viva el ambiente del partido en todos sus aspectos, lo que conduce a una alta concentración y aquí radica la importancia de la investigación en el desarrollo de habilidades compuestas durante los partidos. En cuanto al problema de la investigación, los autores creen que la mayoría de los entrenadores no utilizan medios electrónicos modernos para desarrollar habilidades compuestas a través del entrenamiento, sino que solo realizan ejercicios reales en el campo, mientras que el aspecto mental es importante durante el entrenamiento y facilita el proceso de dominio. Por ello, los autores intentan adoptar gafas VR4z en el proceso de formación mediante ejercicios especiales para conocer el alcance de su impacto en la muestra de investigación.

Grupların değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, havada kalma süresinde, sıçradıkları yükseklik mesafesinde ve sprint sürelerinde milli takım futbolcuları lehine anlamlı bir fark olduğu (p<0,05) görülmüş, anaerobik güç değerinde ise istatistiksel olarak bir fark olmadığı saptanmıştır. Uluslararası seviyede mücadele eden milli takım futbolcuları, ulusal seviyede mücadele eden futbolculardan daha iyi düzeyde fiziksel kapasiteye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmaya ek olarak, farklı fiziksel ve fizyolojik test sonuçları araştırılarak farklılıklar tespit edilip futbolcuların antrenman içeriği güncellenerek aradaki fark azaltılabilir.

Insights into Meniscal Injuries Among Young Football Athletes: A Scoping Review

This comprehensive literature review delves into the prevalence, risk factors, management strategies, and outcomes related to meniscal injuries, particularly focusing on young football athletes. Drawing from eight scholarly articles, it covers various aspects of meniscal injuries, including incidence rates, treatment options, rehabilitation techniques, and long-term implications. Meniscal injuries are highlighted as significant in sports, notably in high-mobility activities like football, where sudden movements and twisting motions increase the likelihood of such injuries. The review explores common treatment methods such as meniscal repair, transplantation, and partial meniscectomy, along with tailored rehabilitation approaches aimed at facilitating athletes' return to play. Research indicates that while meniscal injuries are common among athletes, particularly in contact sports like football, early detection and proper treatment are crucial to mitigate lasting effects. Understanding knee joint anatomy and biomechanics is emphasized, along with the implementation of effective rehabilitation protocols to enhance joint stability and prevent re-injury. In summary, this literature review offers valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of meniscal injuries among young football athletes. By synthesizing evidence from diverse sources, it contributes to a deeper understanding of the epidemiology, management, and rehabilitation of meniscal injuries, informing clinical practices and guiding future research in sports medicine

Impact of Playing Surface on Concussion Symptoms in Young American Football Players.

It has been suggested that sport-related concussion (SRC) occurs more commonly on natural grass compared with artificial turf in contact sports. As playing surface is a potentially modifiable risk factor, this study sought to identify differences in symptoms following SRC on these 2 surfaces in a sample of young American football players. Prospective. Part of the multi-institutional North Texas Concussion Registry (ConTex) research project. Ten-year-old to 24-year-old male American football players (n = 62) who had sustained a helmet-to-ground SRC and presented to a specialty concussion clinic within 14 days of injury. Helmeted impact with grass (n = 33) or artificial turf (n = 29). Severity and number of symptoms endorsed on the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5th Edition (SCAT5) Symptom Evaluation at the time of initial clinical evaluation. Both groups were similar in mean time since injury, concussion history, and history of headache, but the artificial turf group was slightly older, with a mean age of 14.6 versus 13.6 years ( P = 0.039). Athletes who sustained a SRC on grass reported significantly higher mean total symptom severity scores (26.6 vs 11.6, P = 0.005) and total number of symptoms (10.3 vs 5.9, P = 0.006) compared with those who were injured on artificial turf. This may be the first study to examine postconcussive symptoms after SRC as they relate to playing surface. This small sample of young American football players reported higher symptom severity scores and higher total number of symptoms after SRC on natural grass compared with artificial turf.

Acute subdural hematoma in a footballer following a head-ball of the ball: a rare neurosurgical complication

Acute subdural hematoma is a frequent complication of high-energy head injuries. Herein, we report an unusual case of this condition that occurred in a young footballer after he head-balled a football. A 37-year-old footballer, during a match, jumped and gave a head shot on the ball. Upon landing, he felt severe headaches forcing him out of the stadium. About 4 h later, he lost consciousness and went into a coma. After resuscitation, he remained clouded, with cephalalgia and had left hemiparesis. The performed brain scan revealed an acute right fronto-parietal subdural hematoma and the patient benefited from craniotomy surgery in our department with simple postoperative suites. The authors, after a brief discussion of the biomechanics of this serious condition, ask all the actors of this very popular sport, to consider the possibility of occurrence of this condition in players.

Coping profiles of adolescent football players and association with interpersonal coping: Do emotional competence and psychological need satisfaction matter?

Using a person-centered approach, the present study aimed to investigate the coping profiles of adolescent football players involved in elite football training centers. The purposes were to (1) identify coping profiles based on the reported use of multiple coping strategies in response to competitive stress, (2) explore whether emotional competencies and psychological need satisfaction would predict coping profile membership, and (3) examine the extent to which coping profiles were differently associated with individual and team perceived stress, interpersonal coping, and subjective team performance, as well as demographic characteristics. A sample of 416 young French football players (males = 282; females = 134; Mage = 16.2; SDage = 1.2) from 12 elite football training centers participated in this study. Latent profile analysis results yielded three coping profiles allowing players to be grouped according to their preferences for a combined use of certain strategies (i.e., low copers, high disengaged copers, and high task copers). Results provided further insight into each coping profile membership by indicating the role played by intrapersonal emotional competence and psychological need satisfaction. Finally, differences between coping profiles have been shown in terms of individual perceived stress intensity, interpersonal coping approach, and gender. These findings provide a deeper understanding of adaptive coping profiles within a population of adolescent football players involved in elite training centers. Implications for developing and tailoring psychoeducational interventions for adolescent football players exhibiting a maladaptive coping profile (i.e., disengagement-oriented coping profile) are considered.

The role and significance of mobile games in the process of psychological and psychophysiological development of young football players at the stage of initial training

Organized football increasingly goes against the capabilities and needs of the child. This trend is especially critical at the stage of initial preparation. In addition to the negative effects on the physical development of young football players, forcing training and ignoring their age characteristics has an extremely destructive effect on the mental development of children. The article analyzes the possibilities and advantages of pedagogical means of regulating motivational factors and the process of forming a number of psychological qualities and abilities of young football players aged 6 to 9 years. Suggested methods of personality formation of young football players. The formation of the sports character of young football players should consist of both team actions and individual characteristics.
 Focusing on raising children begins in the environment that shapes them. The most important component of the formation of a young personality is the psychological aspect. Due to various movements with and without the ball, children can gain game experience. Adapting exercises to the child's needs is a basic condition for preventing traumatic effects and promoting its harmonious development, creating prerequisites for stimulating independent thinking, using the "try to find a solution" principle. The work summarizes data from special literary sources and domestic practical experience, as well as analyzes the key factors that determine the dynamics of training and physical and psychological development of young football players. The mechanisms of the influence of the use of pedagogical tools of a game nature on the process of formation of the motivational, cognitive and psycho- emotional sphere of a child of primary school age playing football are shown.

Development of physical qualities of football players in the training process

In this article, we will look at what is necessary to develop the physical qualities of football players and their further improvement.
 Football training, if properly organized, is a powerful means of developing physical qualities that shape the general and special physical fitness and performance of young football players.
 In addition, the game of football requires comprehensive training, due to frequently changing game situations associated with a variety of dynamic individual and collective actions.
 In Ukraine, despite the great enthusiasm for football, experts point out that the players of the leading Ukrainian clubs lag far behind the best world and European teams in terms of individual technical, tactical and physical fitness. Physical fitness is of particular importance for young football players and the martial law makes it difficult for Ukrainian clubs to hold matches at home, which in turn is another disadvantage, as our players do not feel the proper psychological and moral support that is necessary to fulfill their tasks.
 The physical fitness of football players is one of the important components on which the activity and effectiveness of team, group and individual technical and tactical actions depend.
 The development of physical qualities in football players has its own characteristics. Speed - the ability of a football player to perform actions in the minimum time for the given conditions for the minimum period of time. Effective means for the development of physical qualities are physical exercises in pairs, and the rest interval between them should be should be optimal for the recovery of the body. By the same means you can to develop speed endurance, but rest intervals should be limited. Such exercises should be included at the beginning of the main part of the training session, followed by exercises to develop endurance and strength.

Cognitive Function among Young Women's Football Players in the Summer Heat.

Recently, there has been a growing focus on studies related to women's football. However, the cognitive function of female football players has not been extensively characterized. Thus, we explored how the cognitive function of female football players was altered during a series of matches in summer and examined day-to-day variations in cognitive function with regard to dehydration status. Resting cognitive function was assessed from 17 young women football players during the Japan Club Youth Women's football tournament, which spanned eight consecutive days. Cognitive function initially improved, with this improvement sustained throughout the tournament. It is worth noting that ten participants experienced symptoms of dehydration at least once during the tournament; however, these symptoms were not found to be linked to impaired cognitive function, suggesting that resting cognitive function remains unaffected during summer matches, even in the presence of dehydration symptoms.

Hip Muscle Strength, Range of Motion, and Functional Performance in Young Elite Male Australian Football Players.

Hip and groin injuries are common in field sports such as football, with measurement of hip strength and range of motion (ROM) recommended for assessment of these conditions. We aimed to report hip strength, hip ROM, and functional task performance in young elite Australian football athletes. Cross-sectional study. Fifty-eight newly drafted Australian Football League athletes completed hip abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation, and flexion strength testing with an adjustable stabilized or hand-held dynamometer. Hip internal rotation and external rotation, bent knee fall out, and ankle dorsiflexion ROM were also measured. Players completed hop for distance, side bridge, and star excursion balance functional tests. We compared findings between the dominant and nondominant limbs. We found small deficits unlikely to be clinically meaningful in the dominant limb for hip abduction and adduction strength, and a small deficit in the nondominant limb for external rotation strength and side bridge time. Athletes had lower hip internal rotation (mean difference 2.56°; 95% confidence interval, 0.87 to 4.26) and total rotation ROM (2.03°; 95% confidence interval, 0.06 to 4.01) on the dominant limb. There were no meaningful differences between dominant and nondominant limbs for hip strength, ROM, or functional tests. Our results may be used for benchmarking young male Australian football athletes when targeting optimal strength and returning from injury.

According to the results of the study, it can be said that 4-week high intensity interval training has positive effects on blood oxygen saturation, body composition and performance parameters in young male football players.

Effective, accessible and easy-to-use technologies for the integral development of motor and cognitive abilities of young football players in the modern realities of Ukraine: a review article

Background and purpose. The current level of football development requires the combined development of physical fitness and various cognitive aspects. That is why the development and application of technologies that combine the development of motor skills and various aspects of cognition are needed. Purpose: on the basis of the analysis of modern scientific literature, to determine the most effective, accessible, easy-to-use technologies for the integral development of motor and cognitive abilities of young football players in the modern realities of Ukraine.
 Material and methods. Internet platforms Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed were used to select articles for analysis of the effectiveness of various technologies for the combined development of motor and cognitive abilities of young football players. The benefits were for issues of categories Q1-Q3 for 2020-2023. Also, preference was given to randomized control studies in which a reliable effect of the applied technologies on both motor and cognitive abilities was found at a significance level of less than 0.05. Based on the articles selected in this way, an analysis of the technologies of integral development of cognitive and motor skills of young football players was carried out. The technologies had to meet the following criteria: efficiency, integrality of impact, accessibility.
 Results. As a result of the search for literary sources on the topic of the integral influence on the motor and cognitive abilities of young football players, 4360 sources were selected using the keyword "football", from which, after clarification, the keywords "physical fitness", "motor abilities", "psychophysiological capabilities" were selected. "nervous system", "cognitive abilities", "intelligence" 143 sources were selected, from which 30 sources were identified for analysis. Of these sources, 6 reflect the relationship between psychophysiological and intellectual aspects of cognitive abilities and motor readiness, 4 sources reflect the development of the aspect of movement perception, and 20 articles are devoted to technologies and methods for the development of motor readiness with a combined effect on various aspects of cognitive abilities.
 Conclusions. The analysis of literary sources according to the parameters of effectiveness, accessibility and ease of application of technologies for the integral development of motor and cognitive abilities allowed us to highlight the following: 1 – the technology of using balls of different sizes to develop the accuracy of movements in combination with performing exercises with balls from various sports and by exercises with balls to develop attention, speed of mental processes, reaction and ability to concentrate; 2 – the technology of developing "feeling of the ball" to combine the impact on the aspect of perception in cognitive abilities and accuracy of movements; 3 - the technology of using plyometric exercises in water for the integral development of the ability to control the body in space and speed-power abilities. The use of football as a means of integral influence on the development of cognitive and motor abilities was also highlighted separately.
