Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine the speed kick ball dominant and non-dominant limb and comparison between youth representation teams in football. U16 group consisted of 24 players (age: 15.5±0.5 years, height: 176.1±7.4 cm, weight: 65±7.0 kg).
U17 group consisted of 24 players (age: 16.3±0.6 years, height: 180.1±5.3 cm, weight: 69±5.3 kg) and U18 group consisted of 23 players (age: 17, 6±0.3 years, height: 115 179.4±6.1 cm, weight: 72.7±6.2 kg). To evaluate the speed kick we used Stalker ATS radar equipment.
Analysis of variance firing rate showed no significant effect of age and dominance of p < 0.01. Multiple comparisons of groups showed significant differences in firing rate between the categories U16 and U17, respectively U16 and U18 (p < 0.01).
