Functional training and its relationship with sports performance in the soccer players

Abstract

Currently, functional training has been developed in multiple areas of human life, giving positive results in physical and functional recovery. The objective of this research is to determine if there is a relationship between functional training and sports performance in players of the sub 14. This non-experimental research has a quantitative approach with a correlational and descriptive scope, the population under study were the players of the los Andes club and in the sampling a non-probabilistic method was used for convenience, choosing 32 players to apply a questionnaire of 29 questions based on a Likert scale. As part of the results, it is evident that the intensity of the study is of a strong correlation with a positive direction, that is, the greater the practice of functional training, the greater the sports performance in soccer players. Therefore, there is evidence of the need to implement a functional training system in the training sessions of soccer players in order to increase sports performance at the individual and collective level.
