EFFECTS OF SLOPE MOVEMENT TRAINING ON DRIBBLING ABILITY OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS AGED 15–18 YEARS, CHOMTHONG SCHOOL, CHIANGMAI PROVINCE

Abstract

This research aimed to study the slope movement and compare the slope movement with normal training of football players before and after training with the program training to move in a slope direction. The sample group consisted of 40 football players aged 15–18 years with similar dribbling skills, divided into 2 groups by drawing lots:  a control group of 20 people and an experimental group of 20 people. The control group received practice normally and the experimental group was trained with the slope movement training program by practicing 2 hours per day, 3 days per week, for 8 consecutive weeks. Then the football dribbling skills were tested before and after the 4th, 6th, and 8th weeks of the experiment. The research instruments used consisted of 1) a training program for moving in a slope direction, and 2) a dribbling test. In addition, to find the quality of the instruments (Index of item objective congruence) from 3 experts, obtained IOC value = 0.94 Besides, statistics used for analysis include mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-test statistic, and analysis of consistency. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)

The results of the research found that:

The movement in a slope direction of football players was found to be time for dribbling before practice there was an average of 18.67 seconds. After the 4th week of training, the average was 18.27 seconds. After the 6th week of training, the average was 17.12 seconds. After the 8th week of training, the average was 16.10 seconds. When comparing the experimental group with the control group found that practicing slope movement and practicing normal before the experiment. After the 4th, 6th, and 8th weeks of the experiment, they were significantly different at the .05 level.
