Objective: To identify the effect of each of the two methods on developing kinetic response speed and speed-strength in fast breaks and counter-offensive in football among young players, and identify the differences between the two methods in developing kinetic response speed and speed-strength in fast breaks and counter-offensive in football among young players.
Research methodology: The researcher used the experimental method with two groups (experimental and control) and pre- and post-tests, as it was the best way to solve the research problem. The research community was selected purposively, consisting of young football players in Diyala Governorate, distributed across (5) clubs: Diyala, Shaharban, Al-Khalis, Baladruz, and Al-Shaheed Arkan (Kanaan). The total number of players was (82). The researcher selected the research sample randomly by lottery. Players from the Diyala and Al-Khalis clubs were chosen to represent the experimental group, while the control group was represented by the Al-Shaheed Arkan (Kanaan) club. (12) players were selected for each group, resulting in a final sample size of (36) players, representing (43.91%).
Results: The results of all the tests indicate that the three research groups achieved their objectives in terms of significant impact, with significant differences between the groups
Conclusions: The training methods (repetition and circuit training) have a positive impact on developing certain kinetic, physical, and technical skills in football.
