Thus, this sport requires the development of some specific physical capacities such as: Sprinting, jumping, agility and endurance.</div> </article> <article> <div class="mb content text-indent"> <h4 class="font-main d-inline font-weight-bold">Objectives:</h4>  Examine the effect of three months specific training on physical capacities (speed, explosive strength, agility and endurance) of Iraq futsal players.</div> </article> <article> <div class="mb content text-indent"> <h4 class="font-main d-inline font-weight-bold">Methods:</h4>  Twenty males’ professional futsal players (age: 19.73 ± 1.1 years, height: 172 ± 4.2 cm; body mass: 55.3 ± 8.9 kg) were divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 10) and a control group (CG; n = 10). Participants were selected from a ﬁrst division team in Iraq. Before and after three months of specific training (at the pre-season phase), 5m and 15m sprint, counter movement jump (CMJ), change of direction [505 agility test (CODA)] and futsal intermittent endurance (FIET) tests were realized. During the three months, the CG continue their usual training and the EG used plyometric as well as technical and physical exercises.</div> </article> <article> <div class="mb content text-indent"> <h4 class="font-main d-inline font-weight-bold">Results:</h4>  For the sprint performance, although no-significant difference was reported between pre- and post-training for the 5 m sprint, the 15 m sprint performance was better at post- compared to pre-training (P < 0.05) for the EG. For jumping performance, CMJ was higher at post- compared to pre-training (P < 0.05) for the EG. Likewise, for agility and endurance, CODA performance and peak velocity during the FIET test were better at post- compared to pre-training (P < 0.05) for the EG. However, except a better performance for 15m sprint and peak velocity during the FIET test for the EG compared to CG at post-training (P < 0.05), no-significant differences were reported between pre- and post-training for the CG and between the two groups at pre- and post-training.</div> </article> <article> <div class="mb content text-indent"> <h4 class="font-main d-inline font-weight-bold">Conclusions:</h4>  In the light of these data, results have shown that improvement in physical capacities take into consideration the characteristics of futsal during training.</div> </article>
