Effects of The CAS Training Program in Football Movements Skills of Youth

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the result of change in football movement skills before and after using CAS (Co-ordination Agility and Speed) by training program for eight weeks. Research sample comprised of 30 football players at Mattayomsungaipadi School. They were divided into two groups consisting of fifteen people in the experimental group and fifteen people in the control group. 1) the training program, which is a training program to improve movement skills in football developed by the researcher and 2) a test on movement skills in football. The statistics used for data analysis were mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested by using t-test dependent and independent variables and the difference in each pair was compared using effect size. The result of the movement study between experimental group and control group the study indicated that the control group for eight weeks had a mean of movement skills in football with at statistically significant level .05 in six skills from total eight skills while the youths in the experimentel group who used the CAS Training program had a mean of movement skills in football with a statistically significant level .05 in all skills. The result of mean comparison for the movement skills in football between control group and experimental group both before and after training eight weeks. The means of movement skills in football between the control group and the experimental group that used the CAS training program had a statistically significant level .05, except for the skills for dribbling a ball with acceleration which had no statistically significant level .05.
