Sažetak
The aim of this study is to identify and explain relations between coordination and technical skills in young football players. Consequently, 13 football players (aged: 14.23±0.75yrs ; training experience: 5.75±1.46) were recruited and measured. The first battery of test was constituted of four tests for the coordination assessment while the second battery was consisted of five newly constructed tests for the evaluation of the football-specific technical performance. Prior to the analysis, reliability and validity indicators were examined and were identified as appropriate. Canonical correlation analysis revealed high but not significant correlation between motor abilities and technical skills (CanR=0.98 ; CanR2=0.95 ; p=0.07) what is probably due to the fact the coordination and technical skills are intertwined through common biomechanical movement patterns. Results from this study can provide fundamental information for expert coaches during planning, programming and controlling of the training process in young football players.
