In order to examine the performance parameters of football players, age, height, body weight, body mass index, flexibility, hand grip strength, standing long jump, balance, sprint, agility, 30-second sit-up, 30-second push-up, countermovement jump, anaerobic power, Yo-yo Intermittent recovery test level 1 and maximum oxygen consumption values were recorded. SPSS 21.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data. ANOVA test was utilized for comparisons between groups. In addition, Tukey and Tamhane T2 tests were used to identify from which groups the significant difference originated. The significance level was accepted as P<0.05.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>As a result of the study, height and body weight parameters were in favor of goalkeepers between goalkeepers and midfielders, body mass index and anaerobic power parameters were between defenders and midfielders in favor of defenders, 30-second sit-up, 30-second push-up parameters were between goalkeepers and defenders. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were determined in favor of defenders between defenders, goalkeepers, and midfielders in the Yo-yo intermittent recovery parameter. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences between positions in six of the twelve parameters (flexibility, 30-meter sprint, agility, countermovement jump, hand grip strength, and standing long jump).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> As a result, it can be asserted that the physical performance differences between positions are gradually decreasing in modern football.</p> <p><strong><em>Key Words</em></strong><em>: Amateur footballer, Position, Physical performance</em></p>2023-01-28T13:10:42+03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##http://www.journalapn.com/index.php/ojs/article/view/124 Sports Nutrition Knowledge:2023-01-28T13:28:44+03:00John Acquavivaj.acquaviva@hotmail.comLeAnn Domitrovitsle.domitrovits@wingate.edu<p>Nutrition is an aspect of game and practice preparation that is commonly overlooked by many athletes, even those who are highly competitive. There were two primary purposes of this study. One, was to investigate the differences in nutrition knowledge between the sexes who play the same sport. Two, to identify if there is a difference in nutrition knowledge between upper and lowerclassmen. The study included 145 student-athletes from six different sports that included both sexes. All participants completed a 16-question survey to determine their sports nutrition knowledge, with satisfactory knowledge at or greater than 75% correct. The overall mean sports nutrition knowledge for the student-athletes was 55.3%. Only 21 of the 145 student-athletes had satisfactory scores. Significant differences were found between the upper and lower classmen but no statistical differences between the sexes of the same sport, with the exception of one sport. Possible reasons are offered as to why there were not more noticeable differences within these groups. </p>2023-01-28T13:28:44+03:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
