Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the level of limited physical abilities – sprint and jump abilities of the players of Slovak national under-21 soccer team at different positions. The observational group consisted of Slovak national under-21 soccer players (N = 18, goalkeepers N = 2, defenders N = 4, midfielders N = 7, forwards N = 5) in time of qualification for the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship 2011. The level of sprint abilities was diagnosed with the device Fitro Light Gates (FiTRONIC, Bratislava, The Slovak Republic). The criterion for the level assessment was the time obtained in the distance of 10 m with the exactness of 0.01 s. The level of jump abilities was diagnosed with the device FiTRO Jumper (FiTRONIC, Bratislava, The Slovak Republic). The criterion for the level assessment was the jump height in cm with the exactness of 0.1 cm. Differences in the level of sprint and jump abilities were recognised and defined with the special subject analysis. The level of sprint abilities of the whole group was presented with the average performance with the value 2.21±0.08 s.
