Abstract

This research focuses on assessing the physical and functional capacities of football players, particularly their aerobic and anaerobic abilities, which are essential for sustaining performance throughout competition without decline. These capacities are directly connected to the players’ understanding of their positions and roles on the field, and they significantly influence the overall development of the game. Weaknesses in performance may arise from inadequate development of these capacities in specific positions. The research aims to identify differences in aerobic and anaerobic capacities among players based on their positions, examine changes in certain functional indicators before and after anaerobic effort, and analyze variations in these capacities and indicators across positions. The hypotheses suggest significant differences in aerobic and anaerobic capacities between player roles, measurable changes in functional indicators after anaerobic exertion, and notable variations in capacities across positions. The theoretical framework covers aerobic and anaerobic capacity, heart power, and the circulatory system’s condition. A descriptive method was used with a sample of first-division football players, employing tests such as El-CIR.S to evaluate aerobic and anaerobic performance. The results, presented in tables, highlighted key differences linked to playing positions. Conclusions showed that central defenders and midfielders had superior aerobic capacity, while central strikers and attacking midfielders demonstrated higher anaerobic capacity, indicating the need for position-specific training to meet the unique physical demands of each role.
