The research aims to identify the values of physical variables and their differences according to the Player-Maker device for the performance of midfielders and attackers in matches of the Iraqi Youth League Under (19) years old. The main experiment was conducted in the Iraqi League on a sample of Al-Karkh Sports Club youth players, including the midfield and attack positions. The researcher used a descriptive approach with a comparative approach. The statistical package (SPSS) was used to extract the results (Mean), (Std-Deviation), and (One-Way ANOVA). The researchers concluded that there were no significant differences in the playing levels of Al-Karkh Club in terms of the value of the physical variables studied. This indicates that playing levels and performance did not improve during matches against Al-Ittihad, Al-Kahraba, Al-Zawraa, Al-Talaba, and Amanat Baghdad clubs. The researchers recommend using the Player-Maker device in futsal to extract other physical variables, and to use the device in many other games, such as basketball, handball, and others, to extract many physical variables.
