Abstract

This article examines the impact of mini-football on the physical and cognitive development of cadets. The origins of this sport and its rise in popularity both worldwide and in Uzbekistan are identified. The article describes the advantages of this sport, as well as its benefits when integrated into the educational process. Biological aspects of individuals participating in mini-football are discussed, including energy production, metabolic processes, and heart rate. Potential risks associated with this sport are also mentioned, specifically its injury hazards, along with measures for injury prevention. Particular emphasis is placed on the advantages of mini-football over “full-scale” football, as the former is more widely practiced in educational institutions. Special attention is also given to mini-football competitions as events that positively influence both cadets and spectators.
