Influence of a 2‐year strength training programme on power performance in elite youth soccer players

Abstract: In soccer, strength, power and speed are very important because of the large number of power actions performed during the game. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the influence of periodised strength training for power performance more than 2 years. In this study, 134 elite youth soccer players were recruited from two youth training centres. The cohorts were arranged as follows: A (under 19 years), B (under 17 years) and C (under 15 years). The participants in each cohort were divided into two gro… Show more

“…Most of the isoinertial studies in the literature with young soccer players have commonly used repetitions to failure or high loads (70-95% 1RM) to improve strength and power ability (5,7,21,25,26,28,37,40). However, RT with heavy loads might induce an excessive fatigue that does not allow players to undertake effective ball practice immediately after this type of RT (10).…”

“…The assessments of 1RM or XRM have been common methods to analyze strength performance (5,7,19,21,25,26,28,31,37). However, this type of test requires a great experience from the subjects, and it might suppose an unnecessary risk and stress for the athletes.…”

“…Another publication from the same authors [156] was cited in the ''Position statement on youth resistance training: the 2014 International Consensus'' [157] and was regarded as a proof that periodized maximal strength training in parallel squats is unproblematic, even in children and young athletes, as long as a correct movement pattern and a gradual increase of loads in the long-term training structure are provided. Exercise during growth (especially before puberty) facilitates preferential bone formation on the periosteal surface [158][159][160].…”
