Abstract

Background: This study explored the impact of running technique training on change of direction (COD) speed in young soccer players across the U11, U13, and U18 age categories.

Methods: Eighty-nine players participated and were divided into experimental (COD training [CODT]) and control (CON) groups in each category. The CODT group underwent a 4-week training program, conducted twice a week for fifteen minutes before regular training sessions. Pre- and post-testing used the 505 and Pro-Agility (5-10-5) tests.

Results: Results indicated significant improvements for CODT U11 players in the 505 Test on the right foot (P=0.04, d=0.48) and the 5-10-5 Test (P<0.001, d=0.86). The U13 CODT players improved in the 5-10-5 Test (P<0.001, d=0.54), as well as the CODT U18 (P=0.001, d=1.04). Significant differences between CODT and CON groups were observed in the U11 category in the 5-10-5 Test.

Conclusions: The study concludes that running technique training before regular soccer sessions enhances COD speed, particularly in U11 and U18 players.

通过跑动技术训练提高青少年足球运动员的方向速度变化。

背景：本研究探讨了跑步技术训练对U11、U13和U18年龄段青少年足球运动员方向改变速度的影响。方法：89名运动员参加比赛，按类别分为实验组（COD training [CODT]）和对照组（CON）。CODT组进行了为期4周的训练计划，每周进行两次，每次15分钟，然后再进行常规训练。前后测试使用505和Pro-Agility（5-10-5）测试。结果：U11球员在右脚505测试（P=0.04, d=0.48）和5-10-5测试（P= 0.48）中COD速度有显著提高（P=0.04, d=0.48）。结论：常规足球训练前的跑步技术训练能提高COD速度，尤以U11和U18球员效果显著。
