Designing a SAQ Physical Fitness Program for Football Athletes of Guangzhou Sport University

Background and Aim: SAQ training is a training method that integrates speed, agility, and quick start training, and is widely used in ball sports training in Europe and the United States. This study explores whether the experimental comparison between SAQ training and traditional training methods is conducive to improving the ball control skills and agility of college football players, to effectively carry out SAQ training in my country, and to provide new ideas and suggestions for college football training courses. This study aims to design a SAQ physical training program for football players at the Guangzhou Sports Institute. Materials and Methods: The experimenters of this study are all college athletes majoring in football at Guangzhou Sport University in the 2023 academic year. The population is 80 people. These 80 college athletes majoring in football will participate in 8 physical fitness tests for football in this study. After passing 8 kinds of physical fitness tests for football. 40 samples were selected to complete this test. The researchers will use a simple random sampling method to select 20 college athletes majoring in football as the experimental group. The remaining 20 people will serve as the control group of this experiment. In this experiment, the experimental group will use the SAQ football-specific physical fitness training of this research project for physical fitness training. In contrast, the control group will mainly use traditional physical training programs. The experimental time of the athletes is 8 weeks, including 3 training sessions per week, each training for 1 hour. In addition, 8 kinds of football-specific physical fitness tests will be conducted again before training and after 8 weeks of training to evaluate the effects of SAQ football-specific physical fitness training on athletes. In this study, the mean, standard deviation, and related t-tests were used to analyze the data. Results: After the scientific and targeted SAQ football-specific physical fitness training, the P value of the 8 football-specific physical fitness test scores before the experimental training and after 8 weeks of experimental training was lower than 0.01, indicating that this study has a significant effect. Conclusion: The scientific data obtained from the experimental sequence in the SAQ football-specific physical training plan has a great help and effect on improving the physical fitness of Guangzhou Sport Institute football team players in football matches.
