Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of endurance exercises with multiple kinetic paths at high altitudes on some physical variables and physiological reponses of youth soccer players, the experimental methodology was used for achieving the aims and hypotheses of the study. 40 youth soccer players from Albaha province, registered at the Saudi Soccer federation season 2018/2019 were chosen intentionally. 20 subjects of them, representing the basic sample were spilt into two groups 10 for the experimental group and 10 for the control group, while the rest 20 subjects were used for the pre-research studies. The results indicated that the endurance exercises with multiple kinetic paths at 2300 mover sea level have improved physical variables (cardio respiratory endurance- sprint speed – power – speed endurance – strength endurance) and physiological variables (resting pulse – maximum pulse rate – body mass – vital capacity – Vo2max – lactic concentration) at (P=0.05)  for the players , which enhance the players capability of exerting effort and running for longer distances during competitions. Therefore, the researcher recommends the use of endurance exercises with multiple kinetic paths for soccer players at different altitudes as they have a great impact on physical and physiological variables, also as these exercises, which are characterized by their aerobic nature help through the recovery from the physical effort, which primarily depends on the energy production anaerobic system. And finally, the use of these exercises that are characterized by their anaerobic nature can increase the efficiency of physical performance besides delaying the fatigue.
