Abstract: The article presents the results of a study on the physical fitness of young futsal players aged 13–16 years with different ABO blood groups after completing an experimentally substantiated 30-day training program. Purpose. To determine the characteristics of physical fitness in young futsal players with different ABO blood groups. Materials and methods. The study involved male futsal players aged 13–14 and 15–16 years. After completing the training program, indicators of general physical fitness reflecting speed, speed-strength, coordination abilities, and strength endurance were assessed. The results were analyzed according to the athletes' ABO blood group. Results. Improvements in general physical fitness were observed in all study groups following the training program. No statistically significant differences were found between athletes with different ABO blood groups (p>0.05). According to the absolute values, athletes with blood group A(II) more frequently demonstrated better performance in speed and speed-strength tests, whereas athletes with blood group B(III) showed slightly higher results in coordination-related tasks and strength endurance tests. Conclusions. ABO blood group did not influence the overall level of physical fitness in young futsal players. The identified characteristics may be considered as an additional component in the comprehensive assessment of physical fitness in young athletes.
