Abstract |
The current study aimed to investigate lung capacity, anaerobic exercise capacity, and fitness according to
positions among soccer players. Methods: This study was conducted on 60 male high school soccer players. Data on
the measurement variables obtained from the participants were used. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
software version 22.0 was utilized in the analysis. One-way analysis of variance was used to assess the measurement
variables, and the Scheffé test was also applied to identify differences between groups. Results: The three groups
significantly differed in terms of peak power for anaerobic exercise capacity and back strength. Moreover, attackers had
a higher anaerobic exercise capacity and strength than midfielders. Conclusion: Attackers have a higher anaerobic
exercise capacity and strength than midfielders. Attackers require strength and quick movements and instant speed and
power to score. Hence, they need a position-specific exercise program. |
