The effect of basic strength training on developing some physical variables in football for beginners

Skillful performances require strength in a fundamental way, and its importance, role, and structure emerge from one activity to another according to the requirements set by the situations of this activity to reach the higher levels. The purpose of this paper is to establishing basic strength training exercises to developing some physical variables for beginners and to identify the effect of the exercises. A sample of (36) beginners, from the football school in Wasit Governorate, (age = 10.5 ± 1.5 years, height = 142.32 ± 3.87 cm, mass 38.95 ± 3.71 kg) participated in the study. The participants in the experimental group (n=36) completed pre-tests and post-tests.The results of the experimental sample show that there was a significant improvement in the mean scores for basic strength on the post-test compared to the pre-test. The mean score Sprint 30 m from (5.95 to 5.08, p<0.005), the mean score for the Bend the torso forward and down from standing from (1.41 to 3.91, p<0.005), (Agility from (10.55 to 8.57, p<0.005), and the mean score for (measuring eye-leg coordination) from (13.49 to 9.93, p<0.005). The most important conclusions are that the exercises have a clear impact on the players’ abilities and in a positive direction. It has become clear to distinguish the differences between the two research groups in terms of the external appearance of the muscles and the positive impact on the psychological state.
