Design of a soccer training program with analytical and global methodologies for the improvement of the fundamentals of inside edge passing

Abstract

"It is important to highlight the growing importance of football worldwide and the necessity for a high technical and tactical level in players, as passing is fundamental to the fluidity of the game and the creation of opportunities. The main objective of this study is to design a training program that improves the passing ability of footballers, using analytical and global approaches in real game situations. The research methodology is quantitative, longitudinal and exploratory in scope; The “Loughborough Soccer Passing Test” was used for data collection, measuring the accuracy and efficiency of the pass with the inside edge with the right, left and both feet. The results of the study revealed that 60% of players dominate the ball with their right foot, 20% with their left, and the other 20% with both feet. Furthermore, it was observed that 40% are average, 28% are ineffective with the left foot at a distance of 10 meters, 44% are ineffective at 15 meters, and 48% at 20 meters, and this indicates that as the distance increases, the precision of the pass decreases. In conclusion, the design and application of a training program that integrates analytical and global methodologies is proposed as an effective strategy to optimize the development of passing technique in football, contributing to improved individual and collective performance.
