Abstract:IntroductionThe application of muscle force is a determinant of football success as it is inherent to the motor control and sport. The aims of this study are: (1) to describe force variables Isometric Maximal Force (IMF), Concentric Peak Force (CPPF), and Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) in football goalkeepers from different age groups; (2) to compare these variables’ behavior between those groups.MethodsThe sample was formed by 19 youth players (15.97 ± 1.55 years old) from a first-division Brazilian football te… Show more
