Abstract


High physical fitness enables players to maintain endurance, agility, and strength throughout matches. Physical fitness is not merely about training the body but also about maximizing a player's potential skills, thereby increasing the team's chances of victory. This study aims to identify appropriate fitness assessment tests for male football players. It employed conventional scientific research methods in sports science, including literature review, survey, and reliability testing of the selected fitness tests. The research involved 12 male athletes from five-a-side football teams at Kien Luong High School, Kien Luong District, Kien Giang Province. The study has identified seven reliable tests that can represent the features of the sample group. The assessment results also indicate that the athletes exhibit a relatively high level of physical fitness.
