Impact of special skill exercises on harmonic abilities and passing skills in junior footballers

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify the effect of special skill exercises on the harmonic abilities and passing skills of junior football players. The present study had an experimental design, in which 28 junior football players were recruited as sample for the study. Participants were randomly allocated into experimental and control groups. Control group participants carried out exercises, guided by their coach. Experimental group participants received exercises prepared by the researchers. The implementation of the exercises took 4 weeks, at a rate of 3 sessions per week. The duration of each session was 30-35 minutes. The researchers concluded that the special skill exercises positively impacted the junior footballers of the experimental group to develop some harmonic abilities and passing skills.
