Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between regular participation in sports competitions and the development of some physical characteristics, namely aerobic endurance and explosive power, among football players during the first half of the season. A descriptive approach was used, and a sample of 20 football players from the first team (senior players) of Esperance Guelma was selected based on their participation levels in official matchs, it was divided into two groups, the first includes the 10 most participating players during club competitions in the leg, while the second group consisted of the 10 least participating players. Physical tests were administered at the beginning and the end of the first half of the football season, and the results were analyzed using the statistical package program (SPSS). The findings of the study supported our hypothesis, showing that regular participation in sports competition is significantly related to the development of aerobic endurance and explosive power among first team football players. These findings have implications for coaches and athletes seeking to optimize training strategies and improve athletic performance.
