Effects of Strength Training on Physical Conditioning in Soccer Players

Abstract

Introduction: With the development of contemporary soccer, it can be seen that the physical conditioning of athletes has become the gold standard for player evaluation. Objective: Analyze the effects of strength training on soccer players' physical conditioning. Methods: By combining functional strength training with traditional soccer training, the literature was compared, using the method of mathematical statistics and comparative analysis to study the influence of physical conditioning in youth soccer (n=62). Results: After the test, the difference between the control group and the experimental group was significantly enhanced (p = 0.66> 0.05), but there was no difference in effectiveness between the experimental group and the control group after 10 minutes (p = 0.03. <0.05). There was a significant difference in post-test performance between the experimental group and the control group (p = 0.04 <0.05), with emphasis on the hand-throw performance after training. Conclusion: The strength training protocol presented here had a positive impact on the physical conditioning of soccer players, especially on the agility performance of young athletes.
