Abstract

The present research paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of a proposed training program with small-sided games in the development of cardiorespiratory fitness. Furthermore, the study sample consists of 40 footballers under 15. The latter were randomly chosen, represented by 20 footballers from the ‘Chaouia Union’ (as an experimental group) and 20 players from the ‘Ain Mlila Association’ (as a control group). The experimental method was used for its suitability to the nature of the study. We conducted physical tests, and trained for a period of (8) weeks, with three training sessions per week, and then conducted post-tests, after which we performed the necessary statistical treatment and analysed the results of the study and found that the proposed training program had a positive impact on the development of cardiorespiratory fitness for football players less than 15 years old and the superiority of the experimental group players in developing cardiorespiratory fitness.
