Abstract

Introduction: Well organized training of football players is a prerequisite for improving their motor and tactical skills, which is necessary for attaining good results. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in fitness and physical capacity of non-professional football players.
Material and methods: A group of 21 male football players aged 16.2 ± 0.3 years, who play football at the Sport Academy Progres in Cracow, took part in this study. Fitness and physical capacity tests were conducted before and after the game season.
Results: The year-long training programme resulted in a marked improvement in explosive leg strength, in velocity at a distance of 10 m, in VO2max, and in the Beep test results.
Conclusions: Further studies are indispensable in order to elaborate more effective strategies aimed at improving fitness and physical capacity, which would enable a rational assortment of training loads and would prevent overexerting young players.
