Differences Between Motor Abilities of First And Second League Soccer Players in Kosovo

Öz

In this research is applied a sample of 159 soccer players from Kosovo, 79 of them from the first league and 80 others from the second league, aged 18-33 years old. The aim of this research is the evaluation of motoric skills of the soccer players from the fist and the second league, and the comparison between them. To prove motoric abilities, 9 variables are applied: Standing long jump, Standing high jump, Standing triple jump,  foot-tapping against the wall, 20m run, 50m run, ball lead slalom 20m, work with the ball, ball lead 20m in corridors. In this research are applied these methods of result elaboration: basic statistical parameters and the correlation between motoric space variables. In order to prove statistically valid changes between researched groups is applied T-test. The most noticeable difference is shown in the variable work with the ball 27 -15, whereas a small change between two groups of soccer players is noticed to the Standing high jump. The effect of more qualitative trainings is noticed in favor of the first league soccer players.  After basic statistic parameters analyzed in motor space is concluded that exist systematic differences in favor of the first league soccer players. Based on the value of gained skills is formed the Kosovo soccer players model.

Differences Between Motor Abilities of First And Second League Soccer Players in Kosovo

Abstract

In this research is applied a sample of 159 soccer players from Kosovo, 79 of them from the first league and 80 others from the second league, aged 18-33 years old. The aim of this research is the evaluation of motoric skills of the soccer players from the fist and the second league, and the comparison between them. To prove motoric abilities, 9 variables are applied: Standing long jump, Standing high jump, Standing triple jump,  foot-tapping against the wall, 20m run, 50m run, ball lead slalom 20m, work with the ball, ball lead 20m in corridors. In this research are applied these methods of result elaboration: basic statistical parameters and the correlation between motoric space variables. In order to prove statistically valid changes between researched groups is applied T-test. The most noticeable difference is shown in the variable work with the ball 27 -15, whereas a small change between two groups of soccer players is noticed to the Standing high jump. The effect of more qualitative trainings is noticed in favor of the first league soccer players.  After basic statistic parameters analyzed in motor space is concluded that exist systematic differences in favor of the first league soccer players. Based on the value of gained skills is formed the Kosovo soccer players model.
