Abstract

Purpose. To investigate the dose-response effects of a diversified exercise program (DEP) on basic movement skills and soccer specific skills as well as the relation between these skills in talented soccer players. Methods. Thirty-seven talented soccer players were recruited from two professional soccer clubs. The players were divided in two groups: moderate ratio DEP (DEP<50% of total hours of organized physical activity; n=16; age=11.11(1.06)) and high ratio DEP group (DEP>50% of total hours of organized physical activity; n=21; age=11.40(0.80)). Basic movement skills, containing the KörperkoordinationTest für Kinder (KTK) and basketball slalom dribble test, and soccer specific skills, containing the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT), shuttle dribble test and slalom dribble test at pre- and post-test revealed the effects of a 14 week DEP. Pearson correlations and repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyse the data. Results. A relation between balance and soccer specific skills and between eye-hand-coordination (basketball slalom dribble) and eye-foot-coordination (soccer specific skills) was found. Both groups improved their basic movement and soccer specific skills after DEP, however a greater improvement in jumping sideways (part of KTK) and LSPT execution time was found in the high ratio group. Conclusion. Basic movement skills and soccer specific skills are related to each other. DEP could positively influenced soccer specific skills. A higher ratio of DEP seemed to be more beneficial for both type of skills. Balance is one of the key basic movement skills to train in DEP. The optimal implementation and ratio of DEP is still unclear. Key words: Athletic Skills Model. Diversification. General Movement Skills. Physical Education.
