ASSESSMENT OF THE DYNAMICS OF THE LEVEL OF SPEED-STRENGTH QUALITIES OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN SPORTS IMPROVEMENT GROUPS OF DIFFERENT AGES

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of speed and strength development among football players across different age groups, with a focus on the effectiveness of targeted training interventions. The research highlights that the development of speed and strength is age-dependent, with agility and sprint training proving most effective for younger players (10-12 years), while strength training enhances both speed and strength in players aged 12-14. For older players (16-18 years), a combination of strength and conditioning programs optimized for football-specific movements leads to improved overall performance. The study emphasizes the importance of personalized training regimens that align with athletes' developmental stages and provides valuable insights for coaches to enhance athletic performance. It also identifies challenges such as inconsistencies in training methodologies and the need for more long-term research on the effects of training interventions. Overall, the study contributes to the understanding of age-specific training and offers practical recommendations for optimizing player development
