Effects of Training on the Development of Footballers Agility
Oliver Krička, Darko Božić
SUMMARY
The aim of this systematic review was to determine the effects of training on the development of agility in football players based on collected data and an analysis of scientific and professional papers published between 2009 and 2018. The review was conducted using electronic databases including ResearchGate, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus and SCI.
The selected studies were analyzed according to several criteria, including the type of study, research results and age group of participants. The findings showed that plyometric training is the most frequently applied method for improving agility in football players.
Research has also demonstrated that agility can be effectively developed through the combination of plyometric training with other training methods, such as dynamic stretching and strength exercises. In addition to plyometric training, proprioceptive training and SAQ training (Speed, Agility and Quickness), which combines strength training, endurance training and football-specific techniques, are increasingly used to enhance agility.
The review concludes that various training approaches can contribute to agility development, with the greatest effects achieved when multiple complementary training methods are integrated into the conditioning process of football players.
