Elite African players are a major group in the growing international football talent market, especially in Europe. Through qualitative interviews, this study examined the coping strategies and ...adaption practices of two West African athletes in the process of transition into German football and society. Examining the players' narrative through the interpretive biography approach, the findings highlighted subjective adaptive and coping practices, as well as the role of the structures of talent development systems. The strategies included both problem-focussed and emotion-focussed strategies, namely training in a European-modelled football system, culture learning, multilocal belonging, rationalisation and acceptance of circumstance, reconstitution of self-identity, and social support. The key contributions demonstrate the impact of West African football academies on the experience of transnational migration, and the ways a transnational African athlete may redefine his conception of self to make sense of his experiences.
The study aimed to identify the level of mental alertness and risk-taking behavior among soccer players, and to identify the relationship between mental alertness and risk-taking behavior, and to ...identify the differences in mental alertness and risk-taking behavior in the light of the following demographic variables (training age, degree of injury severity, number of injury times, centers playing), and knowing the extent of the contribution of mental alertness and its relationship to risky behavior to predict sports injury in football youths, and the study used the descriptive approach, and the study population consisted of junior high-class clubs, and the sample included (300) youths, who were chosen in a simple random way, and the study was used in The tools are a measure of mental alertness (Johnson, et al, 2016), a measure of risk-taking behavior (Abdel-Fattah, Mahmoud, 2019), and a form for the player's primary data. There is an inverse (negative) statistically significant correlation between the total degree of mental alertness and risk-taking behavior and its dimensions. Mental alertness and risk-taking behavior according to the following variables (training age - playing position), and there are statistically significant differences in mental alertness according to the number of sports injuries in the past and current season and the severity of the injury in favor of the players whose number of injuries is from (1-3), and whose severity Their injury is light, and there are statistically significant differences in the risk-taking behavior according to the number of injury times for the two seasons and the severity of the injury in favor of the players whose number of times of injury is from (1-3) times and whose severity of injury is light, and since the higher the degrees of mental alertness among soccer players, this leads to The decrease in risk-taking behavior among young people, which is reflected in the reduction of sports injuries, so mental alertness predicted the risk-taking behavior, which was reflected in the decrease in the rate of sports injuries.
La retraite sportive est une réalité à laquelle devra se préparer tout athlète. Contrairement à une retraite classique, qui survient généralement après une longue période d’activité professionnelle, ...celle des footballeurs survient à un âge précoce et peut être précipitée par plusieurs facteurs comme la blessure ou la baisse de niveau. De plus, la nature de la carrière sportive, ultra-compétitive et qui demande un engagement total, peut exercer une influence sur la capacité des footballeurs à préparer de manière optimale leur retraite. Cet article analyse cette influence sous le prisme de l’approche par les capabilités (Sen, 1996), et explore les stratégies adoptées par les footballeurs pour s’assurer des sources de revenu une fois les crampons raccrochés. Une démarche qualitative a été adoptée et des entretiens semi-directifs ont été menés avec douze footballeurs évoluant dans le championnat professionnel marocain de football (Botola Pro). Les résultats révèlent que les footballeurs accordent de l’importance à la planification de leur retraite. Toutefois, certains confondent planification de leur retraite et reconversion après leur carrière sportive. Les résultats indiquent également que l’ensemble des footballeurs interrogés se tournent vers le dispositif informel pour préparer leur retraite (Holzmann & Jørgensen, 2000), pour des raisons culturelles, sociales et religieuses, mais également par manque de ressources (niveau d’étude, capacités financières) et par insuffisance des facteurs de conversion dans l’écosystème sportif marocain. La carrière sportive influence donc réellement la capabilité des joueurs à planifier leur retraite, d’où l’importance de prévoir un mécanisme d’accompagnement et d’assistance à la préparation de la retraite.
Summary Introduction: Aerobic fitness is changing under the influence of, among others, the level of training. Purpose of the work: The purpose of this study was to assess the level of development of ...the aerobic capacity of soccer players during the preparatory period. Material and method: Twenty-four players were tested at the beginning and at the end of the preparatory period. Group of respondents was in the age range 17 - 18 years. Trainings were held three - four times a week and a half - two hours. In the subjects, VO2max was assessed using the Astrand test. Results: Average VO2max at the beginning of the preparatory period was (49.11 ± 7.18) compared with the average value at the end (52.67 ± 6.58). A trend of increasing the oxygen ceiling after the preparatory period has been observed. Comparison of VO2max measured at the beginning of the preparatory period and at the end of the preparatory period did not show statistically significant differences (p = 0.077) Conclusions: For players who have been training for five years or more, we have observed high and very high values of the VO2max parameter. The preparatory period in the test run indicates a trend of increase of the VO2max, however difference in the value they are not statistically significant. It can be supposed that the level of training effect on the rate of growth VO2max assessed after the application of a three-month training oxygen. With the increase in the level of training the dynamics of increase of the VO2max is getting slower.

The aimed of study is analyse the differences in some anthropometric characteristics and body composition be- tween footballers of two clubs in Kosovo, FC Feronikeli and SC Gjilani. The first sample ...consisted of 21 footballers of FC Feronikeli (22.62±3.46 years), current champion, cup and super cup winner in Kosovo at the time of the mea- surement in January 2020. The second sample consisted of 24 footballers of SC Gjilani (26.38±5.62 years), who was the leader of the Superleague of Kosovo at the time of the measurement in February 2020. Anthropometric characteristics were evaluated with following variables: body height, body weight, triceps skinfold, biceps skin- fold, skinfold of the back, abdominal skinfold, upper leg skinfold and lower leg skinfold. The body composition was evaluated with following variables: body mass index, fat percentage and muscle mass. The parameters of descriptive statistics all variables were calculated. The differences between the footballers of FC Feronikeli and SC Gjilani in the following variables were determined using a t-test. It was found that the footballers of the FC Feronikeli and SC Gjilani don’t have statistically significant differences by the variables.
Purpose: to consider theoretical issues of physical preparation of football players at the stage of preliminary basic training. Material and methods: in order to get acquainted with the state of the ...issue under study, an analysis and generalization of scientific, scientific and methodological literature, theoretical provisions on the physical preparation of football players at the stage of preliminary basic training was carried out. Analyzing scientific sources, the questions on the results of the study were considered: the use of means and methods of various orientations in the training of young athletes. The objectives and didactic purpose of the preliminary basic training phase were described. The place of physical training of young football players in achieving a sports result has been determined. Results: it was found that the selective increase in training loads at all stages of sports training of children and adolescents is determined by the laws of the development of physical abilities. A high level and growth of development at a young age is assessed as a sensitive period and is fundamental for increasing the means of influence on a specific physical quality. Some researchers believe that the best sensitive period for the development of strength in young football players is the age of 13-15 years, others - 14-16 years. Conclusions: analyzing scientific sources, the following issues were considered based on the research results: the use of means and methods of various orientations in the training of young athletes. In organizing the training process of football players, it is necessary to take into account the high intensity of metabolic processes and the age characteristics of a growing child's body. The relatively low functional development of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems with boys aged 13–14 significantly limits the ability to perform long-term intense loads. As a result of studying the literature, it was found that, in accordance with the playing role, all-round physical training (with an emphasis on speed and speed-strength qualities) of young footballers aged 13-14 is an actual scientific research.
