The aim of this study was to evaluate whether physical performance characteristics could be a better predictor than technical skills in determining the technical level of county soccer players in a match situation.
With institutional ethics approval, 25 male youth soccer players aged 16-18.5 years from a professional soccer academy in South East Asia were selected and height and body mass were recorded. Players were tested for sexual maturity (pubertal development scale [PDS] self-assessment), aerobic capacity (yo-yo intermittent recovery test level 1 [YYIR1]), repeated sprint ability (7 x 35 m sprints) acceleration (15 m sprint) and four soccer skills tests (dribble with pass, dribbling speed, passing and shooting accuracy). Players' technical ability during match play was assessed in small-sided games of soccer (5 v 5) using a novel game technical scoring chart (scoring chart completed by coaches to assess technical performance in a match situation) developed from criteria (e.g., first touch, dribbling and two footedness) used by youth soccer coaches for talent identification.
A Spearman's rank correlation showed the YYIR1 test and 15 m sprint test were limited in predicting technical match performance (r=0.03, P=0.88, r=-0.23, P=0.32 respectively). A Pearson product moment correlation showed that the repeated sprint test was also limited in predicting technical match performance (r=-0.34, P=0.14). A dribbling skill with a pass was found to be the best determinant of a player's technical ability in a match (r=-0.57, P=0.00).
Talent identification and selection programs in Asian youth soccer should include a dribbling skill performed with a pass.
本研究的目的是评估在比赛情况下，身体表现特征是否比技术技能更能准确预测县级足球运动员的技术水平。
经机构伦理批准，从东南亚一家职业足球学院挑选了25名年龄在16至18.5岁之间的男性青年足球运动员，并记录其身高和体重。对球员进行了性成熟度测试（青春期发育量表[PDS]自我评估）、有氧能力测试（Yo-Yo间歇恢复测试1级[YYIR1]）、反复冲刺能力测试（7次35米冲刺）、加速测试（15米冲刺）以及四项足球技能测试（带球传球、带球速度、传球和射门准确性）。在小型足球比赛（5对5）中，使用一种新颖的比赛技术评分表（由教练填写以评估比赛中的技术表现）对球员在比赛中的技术能力进行评估，该评分表是根据青年足球教练用于人才识别的标准（如第一触球、带球和双脚能力）制定的。
斯皮尔曼等级相关性分析表明，YYIR1测试和15米冲刺测试在预测比赛技术表现方面能力有限（相关系数分别为r = 0.03，P = 0.88；r = -0.23，P = 0.32）。皮尔逊积矩相关性分析表明，反复冲刺测试在预测比赛技术表现方面也很有限（r = -0.34，P = 0.14）。带球传球技能被发现是比赛中球员技术能力的最佳决定因素（r = -0.57，P = 0.00）。
亚洲青年足球的人才识别和选拔计划应包括带球传球技能。
