Analysis of specialist opinions about the problem of selection in the game of football for children 6-8 years of age

Abstract

The general trend worldwide is a pronounced decrease in the age at which sport performance begins. An early debut in the performance sport requires an early specialization and hence special efforts of the athlete, not just physical (the body has the ability to regenerate), but also of a mental nature. In this study I wanted to obtain the experts opinions on the main aspects of selection for the age studied, namely: selection criteria, methods of encouragement, stimulation and improvement, the overall state of the selection phenomenon organized for children of small age. Sports training professionals appreciate that the future belongs to technicians and athletes able to create new patterns, superior to those present, favoring the creation of highly efficient motor structures in order to obtain success in sports. Key words: selection, football, motor criteria, motivation, 6-8 years of age RezumatTendinţa generală, pe plan mondial, este scăderea accentuată a vârstei la care se începe practicarea sportului de performanţă. Un debut timpuriu în sportul de performanţă presupune o specializare timpurie şi implicit eforturi deosebite din partea sportivului, nu numai de natură fizică (organismul are capacitatea de a se regenera), ci şi de natură psihică. Am urmărit în studiul de faţă obţinerea opiniilor specialiştilor cu privire la principalele aspecte ale selecţiei la vârsta studiată şi anume: criterii de selecţie, metode de încurajare, stimulare şi îmbunătăţire, stadiul general al fenomenului de selecţie organizată la nivelul copiilor de vârstă şcolară mică. Specialiştii din domeniul antrenamentului sportiv apreciază că viitorul va aparţine tehnicienilor şi sportivilor apţi să creeze noi modele, superioare celor prezente, care favorizează crearea unor structuri motrice deosebit de eficiente pentru obţinerea succesului sportiv.

Lower limbs asymmetries in the agility and explosive strength in male football players

“…Football is a total sport, and it requires parallel development of physical qualities, technical tactics, and psychological skills [7][8][9]. Modern football evolves rapidly, especially regarding the physical qualities [10,11]. This is because the football game involves many dynamic movements, including acceleration, deceleration and change of direction while running [12], and the speed in football means chasing the ball from back to front, then fast backward, leftward, rightward movements, returning to the centre of the field and dribbling and hitting the ball [13].…”

“…As far as actions performed at maximum speed are concerned, the coach should develop proper management of the situations of interruption of the game, which are often trained and then premeditated during the game. Therefore, during the game, a player runs distances with or without the ball performing technical-tactical actions at different levels of cumulative intensity: physical, technicaltactical or mental [19,20].…”

Sportsmanship and basic psychological needs in sports students

“…Moreover, studies based on daily journals have shown that daily increases and decreases in psychological need satisfaction are associated with daily fluctuations in symptoms and adverse effects among students [16,17] and among employed adults [18,19]. On the other hand, frustration of psychological needs has been associated with decreased well-being in athletes [20,21] and coaches [22]. Frustration of psychological needs has also been associated with increased levels of S-IgA, an immunological protein responsible for anticipating acute stressors [21].…”
