| Abstract | ||||
| Objectives: to recognize the effect of spatial orientation and motor rhythm trainings on motor speed and skill performance level for soccer juniors. Design: The training program was 8 weeks long, 3 training units per week where the spatial orientation and motor rhythm trainings time lasts from 30-40 minutes of the training unit time. Participants: 26 soccer juniors under 17-18 years old were equally and randomly divided into two groups experimental (n=13) and control (n=13) groups. Main Outcome Measures: The anthropometric (height and weight), spatial orientation ability (turning to touch the color test), motor rhythm ability (motor rhythm ability test), motor speed (dribbling test & dribbling and shooting test) and skill performance (shooting test, dribbling test and passing with the appropriate strength test) Results: Statistically differences were found on spatial orientation, motor rhythm, motor speed and skill performance between control and experimental groups for the experimental group. Conclusions: from the results of this research and according to the existence of statistically significance for the experimental group, the researchers recommended that coaches should give a great deal of importance to developing the coordinative abilities through making it an essential part of soccer juniors training program. | ||||
