Diagnostics of Motor Abilities in Selection Process for Pionir Soccer Players : Masters Thesis

Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio utvrditi razlike pojedinih motoričkih sposobnosti i testova za procjenu nogometne tehnike kod ispitanika koji su podijeljeni po kvaliteti te utjecaj relativne dobi na frekvenciju datuma rođenja po kvartalima. Istraživanje je provedeno na nogometašima dobi 13-15 godina podaci su prikupljeni iz klubova Splitsko-dalmatinske županije. Baterija testova je uključivala osnovne morfološke mjere (visina i težina), testove za procjenu brzine (sprint 5 m i 20 m), agilnosti (slalom test) i eksplozivne (skok u dalj) te test za procjenu nogometne tehnike (slalom s loptom). Istraživanje je provedeno na 152 nogometaša pionirske dobi (U15) iz klubova RNK Split, NK Solin i HNK Trogir. Rezultati testova skok u dalj i indeks nogometne tehnike za kvalitetu 2 dobiveni su (192,76±17,98) (3,48±0,58) igrači grupe kvalitete 3 (202,13±23,16), (3,44±0,81) igrači grupe kvalitete 4 (225,59±19,17), (2,34±0,96) igrači grupe kvaliteta 5 (233,43±14,07), (1,79±0,46). Rezultati frekvencija rođenih po kvartalima vidimo da je u postotak rođenih u prvom kvartalu 26,78 %, u drugom 19,63 %, u trećem 30,36 %, u četvrtom 23,20 %. Možemo reći da ne postoji diskriminacija po pitanju frekvencije rođenih po kvartalima jer rezultati pokazuju kako nema statistički značajne razlike u frekvenciji rođenih po kvartalima. Također rezultati u motoričkim testovima grupe kvalitete 5 bolji su od nižih kvaliteta u svim promatranim varijablama te možemo zaključiti da postoji statistički značajna razlika među ispitanicima. Veći uzorak ispitanik doprinio bi detaljnijim i točnijim rezultatima.The aim of this study was to determine the differences of individual motoric abilities and tests for football technique evaluation among respondents who were divided on the quality of the impact of relative age on the frequency of birth dates by quarters. The research was conducted on football players who received 13-15 years, data were collected from clubs in the Split-Dalmatia County. The battery of tests included basic morphological measures (height and weight), tests to assess speed (sprint 5 m and 20 m), agility (slalom test) and explosive (long jump) and a test to assess football technique (slalom with a ball). The research was conducted on 152 football players of pioneer age (U15) from the clubs of the RNK Split, NK Solin and HNK Trogir. The results of further jump tests and the football technique index for quality 2 were obtained (192.76 ± 17.98) (3.48 ± 0.58) players of quality group 3 (202.13 ± 23.16), (3.44 ± 0.81) players of quality group 4 (225.59 ± 19.17), (2.34 ± 0.96) players of quality group 5 (233.43 ± 14.07), (1.79 ± 0.46). The results of the frequency of births by quarters show that the percentage of births in the first quarter is 26.78 %, in the second 19.63 %, in the third 30.36 %, in the fourth 23.20 %. We can say that there is no discrimination in terms of the frequency of births by quarters because the results show that there are no statistically significant differences in the frequency of births by quarters. Also, the results in motor tests of quality group 5 are better than lower qualities in all observed variables and we can conclude that there is a statistically significant difference among the subjects. A larger sample of respondents contributed detailed and accurate results
