The Effect of Exercises According to the Slam Training Circuit on Developing Maximum Anaerobic Capacity and Some Basic Offensive Skills in Youth Soccer

Abstract

The importance of this research lies in raising the functional level of soccer players, particularly their maximum anaerobic capacity, which is required for certain attacks and ball launches, handling, and scoring. This is achieved through exercises implemented within the Slam Training Circuit, which is appropriate for this type of soccer training. The research problem was: The level of execution of basic offensive skills at the required speed does not meet the desired level, especially given the weak maximum anaerobic capacity necessary to perform these skills. This indicates that the exercises designed and the training circuit used may not meet the required high load level. Therefore, experimenting with a small Slam Training Circuit may achieve the goal and address the problem by raising maximum anaerobic capacity, which enhances the level of offensive skill performance. The main objectives of the research were to identify the effect of exercises according to the impact training circuit on developing maximum anaerobic capacity and some basic offensive skills in youth soccer. The researcher used the experimental method, and the research sample was the Al-Minaa Sports Club youth soccer players. After implementing the circuit, the most important conclusions were reached: The exercises implemented according to the impact training circuit achieved the goals of sports training in developing maximum anaerobic capacity and some basic offensive skills in youth soccer. It was recommended that the exercises implemented according to the impact training circuit be adopted because they achieved the goals of sports training in developing maximum anaerobic capacity and some basic offensive skills in youth soccer.
