Abstract

Objective: this study aims to build and propose a battery for physical tests according to scientific bases to be used in the selection process for school football teams in the secondary stage. Method and material: twelve physical tests representing the various physical characteristics of football players (endurance, strength, speed, agility, flexibility) were selected and applied to 48 players of the school football teams belonging to the State School Association of Biskra-Algeria. Results: the results indicated that the physical tests give statistically significant differences compared to other physical tests among the players of the school football teams in the secondary stage. Conclusions: the physical tests that gave statistically significant differences are the tests that will be the battery of physical tests for the players of school football teams in the secondary stage of Biskra state.
