Introduction: The purpose of this research was to compare the physiological and funct-ional variables between grassy and beach soccer players.
Materials & Methods: 28 national team players of beach and grassy soccer were randomely selected as a sampel. Some tests such as Kankani’s test for measuring aero-bic power at the anaerobic thershold, Bosc-o’s test for anaerobic power، 40 yard for velocity and Illinois for agility were done. For analyses of the data, independet t-test between the variables were used.
Findings: There were no noticelabe and significant differences in the aerobic power (aerobic power at anaerobic threshold) bet-ween grassy and beach soccer players of the national teams(P=0.07). But there were sig-nificant differences in anaerobic power (P=0.005), velocity (P=0.35) and agilityn (P=0.005) between beach grassy and soccer players of the national teams.
Discussion & Conclusion: There is a dif-ference in the aerobic power، velocity, agi-lity of the grassy and beach soccer players of the national teams and this may be due to the kind of activity, the structure of skill, different conditions of the field and the kind of training conditions. By drawing attention to the relation between these variables, it is expected that if one of these factors is wea-kened, the another one also will be affected. Furthermore, given the importance of these factors in the performance of the football players, they should be considered as essen-tial needs in the matches.
