POSITIONAL DIFFERENCES IN PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE OF YOUNG HIGHLY TRAINED SOCCER PLAYERS

The aim of this research was to determine the difference in physical performance of soccer players across different playing positions in team. A total of 75 adolescent male soccer players (aged 14.2±0.4 years) that participated at the highest level of competition in Serbia of their age were recruited. They were tested for speed, change of direction speed (COD), and reactive agilty. Reactive agilty with live testers was able to distinguished forwards from both groups, midfielders (diff = 0.0960, 95%CI = 0.0343 to 0.1577, p < .01) and defenders (diff = 0.0970, 95%CI = 0.0328 to 0.1612, p < .01). Our results highlight that even in adolescent soccer players there is an influence of playing position on physical qualities
