Building and legalizing a test to measure the level of football agility of young players

Objective: The research aims to build and codify a test to measure the level of special agility of young footballers, and to find grades and standard levels for the special fitness test for young footballers. Methodology: The researcher identified the research community in a deliberate way represented by the players of Anbar province youth football clubs, numbering (262), while the research sample consisted of (117) players, representing (44.65) of the research community, and (48) players were selected for the construction sample, (38) players for the application sample and (10) players to conduct the exploratory experiment. Results: By presenting the results and based on the sample level, it was found that the most frequent repetitions of the sample level in the special fitness test were at an average level, reaching (22) by (57.89%), followed by the good and acceptable level (8) and by (21.05%). Discussion: The results are attributed to several possible factors. First, the nature of the sample is young, where their level of physical development and skills may still be at the stage of growth and improvement. Second, the fundamental importance of fitness is one of the basic motor abilities in sports activities, especially football. Conclusions: A test was built and designed to measure the special agility of young footballers, and to establish benchmarks and levels for the special fitness test for young footballers.
