BIOMOTOR ABILITIES

Biomotor Abilities in Football



Biomotor Abilities in Football

Introduction

Fitness can be defined as the capability of a person to live his life in certain style. For example a non athlete is less fit as compared to an athlete and the reason is his training for various events. However fitness is made up of different components or abilities, those abilities are basics and act effectively in training. The movement of body is affected by these abilities therefore these are known as “Biomotor Skills”. Boimotor skills are defined as the ability to execute variety of activities for example Speed, Endurance, Strength, Coordination, and Flexibility (Strudwick, 2002, 239). They can be genetically determined and also can be enhanced through training. The purpose of this paper is to identify biomotor abilities in football and at the end biomechanical and physiological factors that limit those biomotor abilities are discussed.

Components

The term Fitness is made by eight basic biomotor abilities, the eight biomotor abilities are often described as the elements in eastern medicine.

Flexibility (motions in joints of a person)

Speed (fast movement)

Balance ( capacity to defeat insatiability)

Endurance (capacity to move for longer time)

Strength ( shifting of load

Coordination ( making two things work together)

Power (how fast a person can shift heavy load)

Agility (the aptitude to modify body position and direction quickly)

Discussion

Football and fitness are two concepts that can be treated together in education. Take football as an example of team sport to work fitness, may be ideal to demystify the sport as physically undemanding. Also, use it less technical and less performance-oriented, may be ideal for women, socially less identified with the sport, and may be on an equal footing with the rest of his teammates (Rienzi, 2008, 7). There are various individual skills and team tactics to play football effectively. In theory, football is a game very simple, as illustrated by Kevin Keegan famous assertion that "to win a game you only need to score more goals than the opposite." However, well organized and prepared teams are often able to beat teams with supposedly more skilled players. Football is the sport most beautiful, complex and compelling of all. First, its complexity is due to strict regulation, which forces the player to have a high degree of special skill, since the same body segments with which it moves, are responsible also to dominate the ball while moving at speeds and changing directions through the field avoiding multiple moving obstacles. Football tactics differ from those of many other sports because football has a high degree of continuous action (i.e., not divided into isolated games, like football, or points, as in tennis). Speed, endurance, strength, agility and flexibility - these are the basic physical qualities that are needed footballer to show a high level of skill (Roozen, 2003, 45). The degree of their development and improvement of the result depends not only match, but the entire competition period.

Importance

Biomotor abilities are important because training needed for a sport can be defined through Biomotor abilities. Like a power lifters primary biomotor training needs are ...
