“…Overall, these results also strengthen the need to evaluate both jumping and sprinting FVP profiles in order to ensure a more specific, accurate and comprehensive characterization of athletes’ physical qualities, toward better designed training programs. The present study expands the conclusions of Marcote-Pequeno et al (2018) , who reported low correlations for some FVP profile variables between jumping and sprinting in elite female soccer players, to other sport populations and male athletes. Therefore, the FVP approach is expected to be useful for both researchers and coaches, since a more complete knowledge of athletes’ characteristics will very likely facilitate the subsequent prescription of an effective training according to the individual needs ( Morin & Samozino, 2016 ; Jiménez-Reyes et al, 2017a ).…”

“…What values may be considered as references when assessing/monitoring athletes’ FVP profiles? The first question has only been addressed with elite female soccer players showing very large correlations for P max ( r = 0.75) but trivial-moderate correlations for F 0 ( r = −0.14) and v 0 ( r = 0.49) ( Marcote-Pequeno et al, 2018 ), while the second question has only received partial answers (i.e., few levels of practice in a limited number of sports). It should be noted that the data presented by Marcote-Pequeno et al (2018) were also considered for the database of the current study.…”

This study aimed (i) to explore the relationship between vertical (jumping) and horizontal (sprinting) force–velocity–power (FVP) mechanical profiles in a large range of sports and levels of practice, and (ii) to provide a large database to serve as a reference of the FVP profile for all sports and levels tested. A total of 553 participants (333 men, 220 women) from 14 sport disciplines and all levels of practice participated in this study. Participants performed squat jumps (SJ) against multiple external loads (vertical) and linear 30–40 m sprints (horizontal). The vertical and horizontal FVP profile (i.e., theoretical maximal values of force (F0), velocity (v0), and power (Pmax)) as well as main performance variables (unloaded SJ height in jumping and 20-m sprint time) were measured. Correlations coefficient between the same mechanical variables obtained from the vertical and horizontal modalities ranged from −0.12 to 0.58 for F0, −0.31 to 0.71 for v0, −0.10 to 0.67 for Pmax, and −0.92 to −0.23 for the performance variables (i.e, SJ height and sprint time). Overall, results showed a decrease in the magnitude of the correlations for higher-level athletes. The low correlations generally observed between jumping and sprinting mechanical outputs suggest that both tasks provide distinctive information regarding the FVP profile of lower-body muscles. Therefore, we recommend the assessment of the FVP profile both in jumping and sprinting to gain a deeper insight into the maximal mechanical capacities of lower-body muscles, especially at high and elite levels.

“…(2018) and Marcote-Pequeño et al (2019) observed weak associations between the FV profile obtained in jumping and sprinting in high level to elite athletes, suggesting the influence of the force-vector and force application. In this regard, Hzt rather than Vrt FV profile assessment would be more recommendable since it evaluates athlete's ability to accelerate the body in a forward direction during a linear sprint (which is also determinant during the propulsive phase of the COD maneuver (Sayers, 2015)).…”

This study aimed to assess the association of the mechanical variables derived from the force-velocity (FV) profile (i.e. theoretical maximal force [F 0 ], velocity [V 0 ] and maximal power output [P max ]) with change of direction (COD) performance in soccer, basketball and tennis players. Fifty-four male athletes (soccer n = 23; tennis n = 16; basketball n = 15) were assessed for the vertical (Vrt) and horizontal (Hzt) FV profiles, COD with the dominant (D) and nondominant (ND) legs, using the modified 505 test, and sprint. Hzt FV profile parameters showed stronger associations with performance than Vrt FV profile in the three sports. Specifically, the Hzt parameter most strongly associated with COD performance was F 0 in tennis (r =-0.83; p<0.001) and P max in soccer and basketball (r =-0.79; p<0.001). Associations between sprint times and COD test ranged from (r = 0.73 to 0.82) in soccer players, (r = 0.74 to 0.87) in tennis players and (r = 0.62 to 0.85) in basketball players, respectively (p<0.05). Considering the whole sample and the random effect of the type of sports, an improvement in sprint acceleration (i.e. one N/kg increase in F 0 and one W/kg in P max) was associated with-0.15 s and-0.04 s to complete the 505 test, respectively. In conclusion, our results suggest the potential usefulness of assessing the Hzt FV profile to maximize acceleration capabilities through training interventions which, in turn, may translate into improved COD performance. However, further longitudinal and experimental research is needed to confirm this hypothesis.

“…Another limitation could be the relatively short distance of the acceleration phase. Most studies have reported the F-v relationship parameters during linear sprints of 40 m. Nevertheless, a recent study that aimed to explore the F-v profile of female soccer players has shown that a sprint of 30 m could be used to extract the mechanical capacities since the maximum speed was reached before reaching a distance of 30 m [ 2 , 36 ]. Finally, although body size presents an important contributing factor when observing differences in mechanical capacities, other, particularly physiological factors should be considered when interpreting the findings obtained from the current study on male and female sprinters.…”

(1) Background: Within the current study we aimed at exploring gender-related differences and the relationship between sprint start block kinematics and kinetics and sprint acceleration force–velocity (F-v) relationship parameters (maximal force [F0], maximal velocity [v0], maximal power [Pmax] and slope) in top national-level sprinters. (2) Methods: Twenty-eight sprinters (6 females) performed 10 maximal 30-m sprints. Start block and acceleration kinematics and kinetics were collected with an instrumented sprint start block and a laser distance sensor (KiSprint system). Displacement-time data were used to determine the F-v relationship through Samozino’s method. (3) Results: Start block rear foot maximal force (effect size [ES] = 1.08), rate of force development (ES = 0.90–1.33), F0 (ES = 1.38), v0 (ES = 1.83) and Pmax (ES = 1.95) were higher in males than in females (p ≤ 0.05). There were no differences in the slope, and ratio of horizontal-to-resultant force. F0, v0, and Pmax generally presented higher correlations with the start block kinetics (median r [range] = 0.49 [0.28, 0.78]) than with the kinematics (median r [range] = −0.27 [−0.52, 0.28]). (4) Conclusions: We confirmed that sprint block phase and sprint acceleration mechanics should be mutually assessed when analyzing sprinting performance. KiSprint system could provide more accurate information regarding mechanical pattern and technique during sprint initiation and acceleration, and potentially help create a more personalized and effective training program.

Association Between the Force–Velocity Profile and Performance Variables Obtained in Jumping and Sprinting in Elite Female Soccer Players

Abstract: The absence of significant correlations between some of the FV relationship parameters suggests that for an individualized training prescription based on the FV profile both jumping and sprinting testing procedures should be performed with elite female soccer players.
