Abstract
Football is a globally popular sport, attracting millions of people
around the world and over 200 countries participating in the Fédération
Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). This study aims to select
fitness tests to assess the physical strength of 13-year-old male athletes from
the An Giang province’s talented football team. The study involves twenty two
talented young male football athletes of the team and twenty football experts
and coaches. The research employs popular research methods in the field of
sports science, including literature synthesis, interviews, pedagogical
testing, and statistical analysis in order to determine seven fitness tests.
The seven tests include 30-meter sprint (s), 15-meter sprint (s), Standing long
jump (cm), 2000-meter run (s), 5x30 meter shuttle run (s), 505 agility test (s)
and Sit and reach test (cm). The use of the tests to evaluate the current
physical fitness of young football players indicates that 13-year-old male
athletes from the An Giang province football team have better strength compared
to the U13 PVF athletes, and are comparable in speed and flexibility. However, the
An Giang’s team performs worse in endurance, speed endurance and agility.
