Description

Aim: this study aims to evaluate the impact of a regular soccer training program during the preparatory and competitive periods on specific functional abilities. Methodology: The research was conducted during the fall season (August to December) with a sample of n=12 young soccer players (U17 category) from Football Club “Ramiz Sadiku” were included in this study. The research implemented 4 variables of functional abilities: Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second (FEV1) were measured using a spirometer (BTL_OB MT Plus ECG), while Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO2max), and Relative Oxygen Consumption (VO2rel) were measured with Bicycle ergometer (Kettler). Initial testing was carried out before the pre-season, while the final testing occurred after four months of soccer training. Results: Analysis of the results (T-test) revealed statistically significant improvements between the initial and final tests in the following functional variables: Forced Vital Capacity (FVC, p = 0.047), Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second (FEV1, p = 0.030), and Relative Oxygen Consumption (VO2rel, p = 0.020). Although there were improvements in Maximum Oxygen Consumption, the difference was not statistically significant (VO2max, p = 0.054). Conclusion: In conclusion, the regular soccer training program for U17 players led to positive changes in their functional abilities. It is recommended that young people engage in regular soccer training, as the benefits are not only in the development of soccer skills but also in the improvement of functional abilities.
