DETERMINATION OF THE GAME ROLE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS-FOREIGNERS USING THE METHODS OF MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS

The purpose of the work is the experimental substantiation of the application of multivariate analysis methods to determine the playing role in football, taking into account the physical, technical and psychophysiological capabilities of foreign athletes of the student team. Methodology. Participants: foreign students (the country of Morocco) of the national football team of the National University of Pharmacy in the amount of 15 people (age 18-20). The experiment was carried out at the beginning of the preparatory period, September 2019. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources; methods of mathematical statistics; physical fitness testing (shuttle run 5x20 m, flexion extension of the arms in the lying position for 30 s, lifting the body to the sitting position in 30 s, running 100 m, height, weight) hitting accuracy, keeping a soccer ball on the foot, juggling the ball) testing the psychophysiological state using the «Psychodiagnostics» computer program. The indicators of the speed of a simple visual-motor reaction and the speed of a complex visual-motor choice reaction were determined. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the game functions and the factor structure of the complex readiness of foreign football players of the student team were determined on the basis of the use of multivariate analysis methods. Conclusions. It is shown that the indicators of complex testing of foreign football players are divided into five factors: technical readiness, power capabilities, coordination capabilities, speed-power capabilities, psychophysiological capabilities. It was revealed that the strikers of the national team are distinguished by the uniform development of all factors in the structure of preparedness; the defenders are characterized by a greater development of strength and speed-strength qualities, for the midfielders – technical preparedness, strength and coordination abilities. The use of rational means and methods of physical and technical training of foreign football players is recommended for the optimal construction of the training process of athlete
