Increasing and improving general and basic specific endurance at the preparatory
phase of the football players are perceived as one of the greatest factors that contribute to
successful and effective application of training programmes. Additionally
, it helps improve
players’ capabilities to endure the league's pressure. More specifically, it is worth noting
that the football players need additional or exceptional efforts during the national league.
Furthermore, the football matches at the national and international levels may exceed 80
every season, which raises the importance of the endurance element. This study aims to
determine the level of endurance element for players from Banias Football Club and Huten
Football Club before and after the preparatory phase, and to understand the level of change
(improvement) that occurred on this element. Quantitative method was adopted to answer
research questions. The results revealed that there are significant differences between the
two groups, particularly for Banias Club players.
