The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and coordination of heading in professional soccer players of different positions. A total of 243 professional soccer players were examined for the study. The Federation Internationale de Football Association Medical Assessment and Research Center (F-MARC) test battery was used to evaluate heading in soccer players. In the heading of the ball thrown from middle of the goal, forwards were better than goalkeepers (p < 0.05). There was not a significant statistical difference between defenders, midfielders, and forwards. In the heading of the ball thrown from the right side of the goalpost, defenders were better than goalkeepers (p < 0.05) and forwards were better than goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the reason for the heading of goalkeepers being worse than the others; goalkeepers use their hands in both training and matches, whereas for forwards and defensive players being better than goalkeepers depends mainly on their positions in soccer. Trainers and coaches should give place specific training programs to improve heading ability in the training schedule of soccer players at a professional level.
本研究的目的是评估不同位置职业足球运动员头球的准确性和协调性。共有243名职业足球运动员参与了本研究。使用国际足球联合会医学评估与研究中心（F-MARC）测试组来评估足球运动员的头球能力。在从球门中间抛出球的头球测试中，前锋比守门员表现更好（p < 0.05）。后卫、中场球员和前锋之间没有显著的统计学差异。在从球门柱右侧抛出球的头球测试中，后卫比守门员表现更好（p < 0.05），前锋比守门员、后卫和中场球员表现更好（p < 0.05）。总之，守门员头球比其他人差的原因是；守门员在训练和比赛中都使用手，而前锋和防守球员比守门员表现更好主要取决于他们在足球比赛中的位置。教练和培训师应该在职业水平足球运动员的训练计划中安排特定位置的训练项目，以提高头球能力。
