The impact of similar to playing exercises on development reaction speed for football goalkeepers

Abstract

The objective of this article is to determine the influence of playing-like workouts on the response time of football goalkeepers. The experimental technique was utilized by the researchers, who designed the experimental and control groups to meet the nature of the research and its aims. The researchers purposefully selected the research sample, the young goalkeepers enrolled in the football academy in Al-Khalis numbered (10) during the fiscal year (2023-2024). The goalkeepers that participated in the experiment were not included. The number of observations for each corner on which the goalie executed the maneuver was used by the researcher, and each of the four corners of the goal accomplished (2) movements per player, and the number of tries was (16), which is the number used by the researchers to extract the research data. Following the completion of the tests, suitable statistical procedures were employed to get the findings, which were then presented, examined, and debated. The two researchers came to the most crucial conclusion: playing-like activities have a demonstrable influence on developing the response speed of young goalkeepers in football. The most essential advice are to do more study to uncover different activities to help football goalkeepers improve other abilities.
