EXPERIMENT ON IMPROVING THE TRAINING OF FOOTBALL REPUBLICAN JUNIOR PLAYERS UNDER 17 THROUGH MATCHES WITH A REDUCED NUMBER OF PLAYERS

摘要

The aim of this research is to improve the physical and technical training of the junior players under 17 from the CSM football team Galati by using, during training, games with a reduced number of players. The two groups involved in the experiment are CSM Galati and LPS Galati, teams listed in the National Junior Republican Championship, both teams consisting of 18 players. The experimental research took place on the Danube 2 stadium and the Siderurgistul Stadium in Galati, on standard pitches with synthetic surfaces.. For the evaluation of the subjects, we applied the following tests: for physical preparation (30meter speed run; Yo-Yo intermittent; Strength-standing long jump); for technical preparation (driving, dribbling; shot on goal: precision; long pass). For the statistical analysis we used IBM SPSS Statistics, version 23. The efficiency of the training program, based on games with a reduces number of players was outlined by the results obtained in final testing, both in physical and technical tests, which recorded statistically significant differences (p <0.05) in favor of the experimental group, therefore validating the research hypothesis.
