Abstract
[b]Aim of the project. [/b]Evaluating the level of chosen physiological and fitness skills in 11-year-old boys with the aim of working out fitness assessment norms for this age group.[b]Material and methods. [/b]The research covered 53 11-year-old boys selected by 16 clubs affiliated to Podkarpacie Football Association. The tests were carried out on a sunny day on a grass football field. Evaluation of body height, chest and abdomen circumference, body weight and its components was carried out together with a speed test in the 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 30 m and 50 m runs. Endurance was tested in a 20 m shuttle-run test, and explosive leg power by means of a standing long jump test. The data was processed by means of descriptive statistics. In order to prepare the fitness norms for young footballers, methodology suggested by Zaciorski was used. Basic numerical characteristics of the variables under investigation, that is arithmetic means, standard deviation, minimal and maximal values, were established, and the sums of all the test results for each player were calculated.[b]Results.[/b] The average length of the training period for the group of footballers under investigation was 2,6 ± 1,2 years, body height 146,3 ± 5,8, body weight 37,7 ± 7,5, BMI 17,7 ± 2,4, Fat% 12,2 ± 4,5 and abdomen circumference to chest circumference 65,1 ± 6,8/ 68,9 ± 6,0. The results of speed run tests were as follows (in seconds): 5 m (1,11 ± 0,05), 10 m (2,04 ± 0,08), 15 m (2,86 ± 0,13), 20 m (3,71 ± 0,17), 30 m (8,47 ± 0,40), the 20 m shuttle-run test (shuttle) 8,20 ± 1,8 and standing long jump (in cm) 169 ± 16,87. Results of goalkeepers were singled out. The arithmetic mean distribution of the results of the fitness tests was used to create selected norms of fitness training of 11-year-old footballers.[b]Conclusions. [/b]The group under investigation was characterised by a large range of values of the somatic features tested. The level of speed abilities of the 11-year-old boys is high in comparison with other norms. Significantly lower values of arithmetic means were found in the group of goalkeepers in comparison with outfield players. No significant correlation between the length of the training period and the fitness abilities was found.
