Abstract
The research was conducted on a sample of 40 football players at the age from 17 to 35 years with the
basic aim to establish quantitative transformation changes of the tests for assessing the specific-motoric
abilities under the influence of an adapted functional football training with top football players who play
different positions in the team. For the completion our goals, six tests of assessing the specific-motoric
abilities were applied as follows: zigzag running without a ball (CIK_CAK), zigzag running with a ball
(CIK_CAK_T), Ajax test 5 x 10 meters without a ball (AJAKS), AJAX test 5 x 10 meters with a ball
(AJAKS_T), Illinois test without a ball (ILINOIS), Illinois test with a ball (ILINOIS_T). The experimental
program was being applied during six working weeks with four trainings each week. Trainings were applied
with a circular method of work, and the respondents were placed in stations, divided into groups, each of
two players. The research results suggest that the six-week experimental training program of an adapted
functional football training had a positive effect in improving the average results with the six tests. On the
base of the numerical values of arithmetic means and rated differences, it can be concluded that within a
six-week period, the entire sample of respondents marked improvement with the tests: zigzag running
without a ball (CIK_CAK), Ajax test 5 x 10 meters without a ball (AJAKS), Ajax test 5 x 10 meters with a
ball (AJAKS_T), Illinois test without a ball (ILINOIS).
