AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS USING THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) AMONG FOOTBALL PLAYERS ACCORDING TO PLAYING POSITIONS

Abstract

     The study aimed to highlight the importance of physical requirements for football players and the role of the (GPS) system in determining the physical requirements for football players under 21 years old at Shabibet el kabayle club.
