The effect of plyometric training in a sandy environment on some physical variables and the skill of shooting accuracy for young football players

The research aimed to design a training program to identify the effect of plyometric training in a sandy environment on:: some physical variables for young footballers and the skill of shooting accuracy for young footballers. The researcher used the experimental method using an experimental design by following the pre- and post-measurement of one experimental group due to its suitability to the nature of the current study. The researcher chose the research sample in an intentional way from U-16 football players, Those registered at the Edfu Youth Sports Center, and those registered with the Egyptian Football Association for the sports season (2024/2025), where the total sample size before conducting the basic experiment was (25) youth. The researcher applied the exploratory study to a number of (10) youth, so that the basic research sample became (15) youth. , and reached

The proposed training program, “using plyometric training in a sandy environment,” had a positive impact on the physical variables of the sample under study.

2- The training program showed that the “plyometrics in sand” exercises led to the development of both the physical and skill aspects by developing the skill of shooting accuracy in situations similar to playing situations.
