Accuracy of tactical decision-making in offensive game situations depending on the modes of the previous physical load in elite youth soccer players
Abstract
The current trends in soccer pose high demands on comprehensive agilities and versatility of top players perceived through the ""read and react"" doctrine. A player's capability to control and manage his decisions and action in a game situation is a prerequisite reflecting in decision-making speed and accuracy of motor response in the conditions of intermittent exercise intensity.
The purpose of this study was to analyse relationship between the different exercise intensity the accuracy of motor response in an offensive game situation in soccer. Participants (n=42) were male semi-professionally soccer players (Mean age 18 +- 0,9 yrs) and trained five a week.
The accuracy of motor response was assessed by way of a panelists assessment. ANOVA indicated no significant differences (p=.0897) in the accuracy of choice of motor response between the exercise intensity models.
The most frequently chosen motor responses were no. 2 and 3 on five-point scale. No significant correlations were found between values of VMRT and the accuracy of motor response among the individual exercise intensity models (r = -0.04 - -0.23).
