“…It is commonly reported in previous studies that different resistance training types have positive effects on the motor skills of footballers like speed (Brito et al 2014,Meylan and Malatesta 2009, Christou et al2006, strength (Brito et al 2014, Jay et al 2004, Christou et al2006, quickness (Meylan andMalatesta 2009, Christou et al2006), stamina (Helgerud et al 2001) and balance (Iacono et al 2016, Sever 2017, Taskin 2016, Yıldızer and Kirazci 2017. Contrary to this, when the limited studies investigating the effect of this type of training on the technical skills of footballers are examined, it was found that speed and jumping work applied during the season had a positive effect on kicking skills of footballers (marques et al 2013, Sedano et al 2009, Villarreal et al 2015, Haghighi et al 2012, Manolopoulos et al 2004.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two different types of core training applied during the season on the strength performance and football technical skills of young footballers. A total of 18 footballers average age was 15±0.8years voluntarily participated in the study. Two different core trainings were applied in addition to football technical skills. Before and after the study, the sit-up, standing long jump, push-up, dribbling, passing and shooting performances of players were observed. Data were assessed with the SPSS. In the dynamic group there were statistically significant improvements in all variables apart from shooting and passing, while the static group had statistically significant development of all variables apart from shooting. The control group only had statistically significant development for sit-up performance. While development sufficient to form significant differences between the variables observed in the experimental groups was not observed, there were significant differences for all variables when compared with the control group apart from shooting performance. In conclusion, footballers with eight-week dynamic and static core training added to in-season football training had similar levels of development in terms of strength and football technical skills, with significant development of strength, dribbling and passing skills when compared to a group without core training. In light of this data, eight-week dynamic and static strength training applied to footballers in the development period may be said to be an effective method to develop abdominal muscle strength and explosive strength performance and to develop dribbling and passing skills unique to football.

“…Indeed, with regard to male players the effects of strength training on kicking performance are elusive. Manolopoulos et al (2004), Perez-Gomez et al (2008) and Sedano Campo et al (2009) concluded that strength training focusing on the lower limbs can lead to improved kicking performance in soccer in terms of ball speed, but it takes time to transfer this to a specific activity. Several authors (Billot et al, 2010; Anderson and Dorge, 2011) have stated that the discrepancy between the findings of previous experiments may be explained by different research protocols such as differences in the length of training programs, the status of subjects, and training loads.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a six-week combined jump and sprint training program on strength-speed abilities in a large sample of youth competitive soccer players. It was hypothesized that the experimental training group would enhance their jumping and sprinting abilities. Enhancement of kicking performance was also hypothesized due to an expected increase in explosive strength established by a plyometric and sprinting regimen. Fifty-two young male soccer players playing at the national level (aged 13.4 ± 1.4 years, body mass 53.4 ± 11.7 kg, body height 1.66 ± 0.11 m) took part in the study. Half of the group underwent the plyometric and sprint training program in addition to their normal soccer training, while the other half was involved in soccer training only. The plyometric training group enhanced their running (+1.7 and +3.2%) and jumping performance (+7.7%) significantly over the short period of time, while the control group did not. Furthermore, both groups increased their kicking velocity after just six weeks of training (+3.3 vs. 6.6%). The findings suggest that a short in-season 6-week sprint and jump training regimen can significantly improve explosive strength in soccer-specific skills and that these improvements can be transferred to soccer kicking performance in terms of ball speed.

“…If we take a look at typical movement sequences in soccer (abrupt stops and changes of direction, quick sprints, ball kicking and explosive shots) makes it clear that depend on the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) characteristics of the involved muscles (Manolopoulos et al, 2004). Such actions generate explosive release and impact in a repetitive manner use the SSC and require rapid force production and high power output.…”

Michailidis, Y. (2015). Effect of plyometric training on athletic performance in preadolescent soccer players. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 10(1), pp.15-23. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of plyometric training on performance of preadolescent soccer players. 21 players assigned to two groups: jumping-group (JG, n = 11) and control-group (CG, n = 10). Training program was performed for 10 weeks. Anaerobic power performances were assessed by using standing long jump (SLJ), 10 m and 30 m sprint. In the JG the performance at the long jump was increased significantly (P = 0.031). Also the performance of JG increased at 30m sprint running by 7.2 % (P < 0.001). None of the variables tested in the CG demonstrated difference between the pre-test and the post-test. Our results indicate that plyometric training can improve running performance at 30 m sprint and the performance at standing long jump in preadolescent soccer players.
