Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sport metrics training on the performance of young soccer players. 29 soccer players participated as subjects in the present study and divided into experimental and control groups randomly. Subjects' performance was assessed using 50 yards sprint, Illinois and sergeant tests. The experimental group performed soccer-specific SportsMetrics training for six weeks (18 sessions) and the control group continued normal exercises. Data were analyzed by ANCOVA test. The results of ANCOVA showed there are significant differences between the record of speed, agility and power tests in the experimental and control groups after six weeks training (P <0.05). According to the results of the present study, football coaches are suggested to use soccer specific SportsMetrics training to improve the motor performance of players.
