Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the association between fitness, fundamental movement skills (FMS) and perceived competence on technical skills in boys engaged in grassroots soccer. Methods: Sixty boys (8-12 years of age, Mean ± SD = 10 ± 1 years) undertook assessment of FMS, perceived competence, physical fitness (15m sprint speed, standing long jump distance and seated 1kg medicine ball throw as a composite z-score) and technical skills (dribbling, passing and shooting as a composite z-score). Results Multiple backwards linear regression was used to determine to amount of variance in technical skill explained by FMS, perceived competence and fitness. Results indicated a significant model (F 3,58= 42.04, P = .0001, Adj R2 = .680) which explained 68% of the variance in technical skills. Perceived competence (β=.316, P =.001), Total FMS (β=.140, P =.002), and chronological age (β=.863), P =.001) significantly contributed to the model. Conclusion This study demonstrates that better technical skills (passing, dribbling, shooting) in youth soccer are explained, alongside age, by being competent in FMS and having a more positive perception of competence. Coaches should therefore seek to encourage development of these factors during childhood for the benefit of technical skill performance.
摘要目的探讨基层足球男孩体能、基本动作技能(FMS)与技术技能感知能力的关系。方法:对60名8 ~ 12岁男生进行FMS、感知能力、体能(15米短跑速度、立定跳远距离、坐式1kg实用球投为复合z分)和技术技能(运球、传球、射门为复合z分)评估。结果采用多元反向线性回归确定FMS解释的技术技能、感知能力和适应度的变异量。结果表明,一个显著模型(f3,58= 42.04, P = 0.0001, Adj R2 = 0.680)可以解释68%的技术技能差异。感知能力(β=。316, P =.001),总FMS (β=。140, P =.002),实足年龄(β=.863), P =.001)对模型有显著贡献。结论:本研究表明,除了年龄之外,青少年足球运动员更好的技术技能(传球、盘带、射门)可以通过FMS的能力和更积极的能力感知来解释。因此,教练应寻求鼓励这些因素的发展,在儿童时期有利于技术技能的表现。
