Synopsis

The aim of this study was to investigate the aerobic and anaerobic capacities and football specific technical skills of young football players. In this study, survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample group of the study consisted of 38 football players playing football in the U-19 category of Bayburt Special Administration Sports Club. Anthropometric measurements (height, weight), anaerobic tests (vertical jump test, flexibility test, Illinois agility test, leg strength test, star balance test), aerobic test (cooper test) and Mor-Christian general football ability test (dribbling, shooting and passing accuracy) were taken from the football players. The measurement results obtained as a result of the research were transferred to SPSS 22 package programme and normality test was applied first. The mean and standard deviation values of the data obtained in the measurements were calculated. According to the results obtained, the skewness and kurtosis values of the data distribution were between-1.5 and + 1.5, which Tabachnick and Fidell (2013) reported as an indicator of whether a data is normally distributed or not, and it was understood that the data were normally distributed. In the analyses of these normally distributed data sets, One Away Anova (One Way Analysis of Variance) and descriptives tests were performed. As a result of the tests applied to the athletes, it was found that there was a significant difference (p<,000-, p<,000-, p<,000-, p<,000) on the application of anaerobic tests (agility, flexibility, leg strength, vertical jump and star balance) aerobic test (endurance) football-specific skills and abilities (dribbling, shooting and pass accuracy) respectively. As a result of the study, it is thought that motor skills (agility, flexibility, strength, endurance and power) positively affect football specific technical skills (dribbling, shooting and passing accuracy).
