A STUDY ON SELECTED SPORT-SPECIFIC PHYSICAL FITNESS EXERCISES FOR THE BOYS’ FUTSAL TEAM AT LONG HUNG SECONDARY AND HIGH SCHOOL, CAN THO CITY, VIETNAM

Futsal is a sport widely favored by students as it not only supports physical development but also fosters coordination, tactical thinking, and teamwork. This study aims to select and apply specialized physical-fitness exercises for the boys’ futsal team at Long Hung Secondary and High School, Can Tho City. The participants included 20 male student-athletes from the school team and 25 experts, coaches, and physical education teachers. The research used document analysis, expert surveys, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiments, and statistical methods. The study successfully selected ten tests assessing sport-specific fitness and forty-two specialized training exercises most suited to school-level futsal. After a 12-week intervention (three sessions per week), the athletes showed marked improvement across all ten indicators, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Compared to pre-experiment results, there was a notable increase in speed, speed-strength, endurance, and agility after the experiment.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0490/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
