“…To the author's knowledge, this is the first study of adolescents soccer players involving both a speed and a plyometric program. The result from the present study is in accordance with that of previous research consisting of short-burst speed-training programs in 11-12-year-old soccer players (Pettersen & Mathisen, 2012), and speed combined with strength training (Rumpf et al, 2012;Kotzaminidis, 2006;Castanga, D'Ottavio & Abt, 2003). Plyometric training program has been shown to be effective in developing agility performance among youth soccer players (Meylan & Malatesta, 2009, however a study by Thomas, French & Hayes (2009) found no effect in straight-line sprint.…”

“…Agility performance is a physiological prerequisite in soccer because players are often involved in sudden direction change in order to be effective during the game (Little & Williams, 2005). Match analyses have shown that sprint time is often only a few seconds (Castanga, D'Ottavio & Abt, 2003), and most sprints are shorter than 20 meter (Haugen et al, 2013).…”

Acceleration, sprint and agility performance are crucial in sports like soccer. There are few studies regarding the effect of training on youth soccer players in agility performance and in sprint distances shorter than 30 meter. Therefore, the aim of the recent study was to examine the effect of a high-intensity sprint and plyometric training program on 13-year-old male soccer players. A training group of 14 adolescent male soccer players, mean age (±SD) 13.5 years (±0.24) followed an eight week intervention program for one hour per week, and a group of 12 adolescent male soccer players of corresponding age, mean age 13.5 years (±0.23) served as control a group. Pre-and post-tests assessed 10-m linear sprint, 20-m linear sprint and agility performance. Results showed a significant improvement in agility performance, pre 8.23 s (±0.34) to post 7.69 s (± 0.34) (p<0.01), and a significant improvement in 0-20m linear sprint, pre 3.54s (±0.17) to post 3.42s (±0.18) (p<0.05). In 0-10m sprint the participants also showed an improvement, pre 2.02s (±0.11) to post 1.96s (± 0.11), however this was not significant. The correlation between 10-m sprint and agility was r = 0.53 (p<0.01), and between 20-m linear sprint and agility performance, r = 0.67 (p<0.01). The major finding in the study is the significant improvement in agility performance and in 0-20 m linear sprint in the intervention group. These findings suggest that organizing the training sessions with short-burst high-intensity sprint and plyometric exercises interspersed with adequate recovery time, may result in improvements in both agility and in linear sprint performance in adolescent male soccer players. Another finding is the correlation between linear sprint and agility performance, indicating a difference when compared to adults. 4 | Mathisen: EFFECT OF HIGH-SPEED...

“…In addition, the time of substitutions was recorded live and used to further truncate raw data. Data were analysed for total distance covered (m·min -1 ), low speed running (<13 km·h -1 ) and high speed running (≥13 km·h -1 ) (Castagna et al, 2003) with data from the warm up omitted from analysis.…”

This study investigated the effect of playing time on physiological and perceptual responses to six, 60 min matches played over five days. Thirty youth football players (age = 14.1 ± 0.4 years; body mass = 57.4 ± 12.9 kg; stature 169.3 ± 7.7 cm) were grouped into low (<250 min; LPG, n = 18) and high (≥250 min; HPG, n = 12) match exposure groups and monitored daily for lower body power and perceived wellness.GPS technology was used to assess match running demands in total distance (m·min -1 ), low (<13 km·h -1 ) and high (≥13 km·h -1 ) speed running categories. Hypothesis based testing and effect sizes (ES) were used to analyse data. The HPG performed moderately more total distance (103.7 ± 10.4 cf. 90.2 ± 19.7 m·min -1 , P = 0.03; ES=0.74 ± 0.63) and high speed running (26.7 ± 6.6 cf. 20.3 ± 6.5 m·min -1 , P = 0.01; ES=0.87 ± 0.6) than the LPG across all six matches. Differences of a small magnitude were observed between groups for lower body power (P = 0.08; ES =0.59 ± 0.8) and perceived wellness (P = 0.09; ES=0.42 ± 0.4) which were both higher in the HPG. Youth football players appear well equipped to deal with intensified period of competition, such as those experienced in tournaments, irrespective of match exposure.

ÖsszefoglalóNapjaink modern labdarúgása egyre szűkebb térben és cselekvési idő alatt zajlik, mely korábban elképzelhetetlennek tűnő mennyiségű mikro mozgás megtételére kényszeríti a játékosokat. Az egyes játékhelyzetek hasonlóan szűk területen zajlanak, mint az egyébként jelentősen kisebb alapterületen játszott kézilabda mérkőzések. Felmerül tehát a kérdés, megfelelő e sportág-specifikus felkészítés, azaz képesek a kézilabdázókhoz hasonló teljesítményt produkálni a labdarúgók a kisterületen történő intenzív elindulások, gyorsítások, lassítások és irányváltások tekintetében? Hipotézisünket a Speed Court sportdiagnosztikai eszközön végzett mérésekkel igazoltuk. A vizsgálat során utánpótláskorú sportolók két különböző felmérésen vettek részt. A felmérések végrehajtása magas színvonalú mozdulatgyorsasági és robbanékonysági képesség mellett, téri tájékozódó képességet, döntésgyorsaságot követelt a sportolótól. A "60 méteres kergetés" és a "30 másodperces kergetés" elnevezésű tesztek kiválóan alkalmasak voltak a mérkőzéseken előforduló szituációk modellezésére. A résztvevőknek három kísérlete volt, melynek eredményeit feljegyeztük, majd 12 hét elteltével újból megismételtük. A vizsgálati csoportok homogenitását bizonyítva testösszetétel vizsgálatnak is alávetettük a sportolókat, melynek eredménye szerint szinte tökéletesen megegyező testfelépítésű fiatalok képezték vizsgálatunk alanyait. A két sportág képviselőinek a teszteken elért eredményeit vizsgálva megállapíthatjuk, hogy a labdarúgók nem csupán képesek reprodukálni a kézilabdázók eredményeit, hanem minimális különbséggel túl is tudják teljesíteni azt. AbstractModern soccer is characterized by short distance multidirectional movements. Elite level players execute a large number of micromovements of all kinds. Like in handball game situations in soccer usually occur in small areas. We investigated, whether soccer players may be able to perform accelerations, decelerations, intense starting movements and turns at the same level as handball players. We utilized the Speed Court movement analysis system to prove our hypotheses. We measured youth athletes, they executed two testing protocols. High-quality speed, agility, spatial awareness, and decision-making capabilities were required by the participants. We designed two protocols called the "60-meter chase", and the "30-second chase" to mimic the situations tend to occur in a game. Each participant was asked to perform the test protocols three-times, we registered the best try, after 12 weeks of practice, the athletes repeatedly executed the two protocols. We also
