The impact of a (Cross Fit) style training program on a number of physical variables and the special performance of young futsal players

Abstract

The importance of the current research lies in examining the effect of Cross Fit exercises on developing a number of physical attributes and special performances of young futsal players in the experimental group. The significance of the current research lies in studying the impact of CrossFit exercises on several physical attributes and the specific performance of youth futsal players. This study aims to identify the effect of a training program based on the "CrossFit" method on a set of physical variables and the level of specific performance among youth futsal players. The researcher utilized the experimental method on a sample of players, applying a series of CrossFit exercises characterized by high intensity and variety (such as strength training, gymnastics, and aerobic endurance). The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests, in favor of the post-tests, regarding the physical variables, in addition to a noticeable development in specific skill performance. The study concluded that integrating the CrossFit method into training curricula contributes effectively to preparing players physically and technically in a way that matches the rapid play requirements of futsal.
