SELECTION OF PHYSICAL FITNESS DEVELOPMENT EXERCISES FOR MALE ATHLETES OF THE FIVE-A-SIDE FOOTBALL TEAMS AT KIEN LUONG HIGH SCHOOL, KIEN LUONG DISTRICT, KIEN GIANG PROVINCE, VIETNAM

Football is a highly competitive and physically demanding sport. Since football matches last for a long duration (90 minutes) on a large field, athletes must continuously move, leading to significant physical exertion. Therefore, physical fitness is a crucial and essential factor for modern football players. This study aims to select a set of exercises to enhance the physical fitness of male athletes on the five-a-side football teams at Kien Luong High School, Kien Giang Province, Vietnam. To do it, the research has employed conventional methods, including literature synthesis and analysis, interviews, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiments, and statistical mathematics. The research subjects include 12 male athletes from the five-a-side football teams at Kien Luong High School, Kien Giang Province, Vietnam. The study identified 29 exercises to develop the physical fitness of these athletes, including 3 speed exercises, 14 strength exercises, 3 endurance exercises, 2 flexibility exercises, and 7 coordination exercises. The application of these exercises in practice showed a statistically significant improvement in the physical fitness of the subjects after the experiment (P&lt;0.05).<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0731/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
