Several studies have confirmed the efficacy of strength training to maximize soccer player performance during competition. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the effects of different strength training protocols on short-sprint and vertical jump performance of professional soccer players from the first division of their countries. The following inclusion criteria were employed for the analysis: (a) randomized studies; (b) high validity and reliability instruments; (c) studies published in a high-quality peer-reviewed journal; (d) studies involving professional soccer players from the first division; (e) studies with descriptions of strength training programs; and (f) studies where countermovement jump and 10-m sprint time were measured pre and post training. Overall, the different strength-oriented training schemes produced similar performance improvements, which seem not to depend on the training strategy. Strength training appears to have a lower effect when applied during in-season than when applied in pre-season periods in first division soccer players. In this meta-analysis it is not possible to confirm that strength training in isolation is capable of improving the short-sprint and jump performance of elite soccer players. The congested fixture schedule and, thus, the limited time to perform complementary (non-specific) training sessions, may contribute to these reduced effects.

The aim of this study was to examine the associations between linear sprint, curve sprint (CS), change of direction (COD) speed, and jump performance in a sample of 17 professional female soccer players. All athletes performed squat and countermovement jumps, single leg horizontal triple jumps, 17 m linear sprints, CS tests, and a 17 m Zigzag COD test. A Pearson product–moment test was performed to determine the relationships among the assessed variables. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Nearly perfect associations (r > 0.9) were found between linear and CS velocities. Players faster in linear sprints and CS exhibited greater COD deficits. No significant associations were found between COD deficit and either body mass or sprint momentum. Jumping ability was significantly correlated with linear sprint and CS performance, but not to COD performance. These findings may be used by coaches and practitioners to guide testing and training prescriptions in this population. The associations observed here suggest that training methods designed to improve linear sprint and CS velocities may benefit from the implementation of vertically and horizontally oriented plyometric exercises.

Objetivo. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar los efectos de un mesociclo de pretemporada que incluía un entrenamiento de fuerza en la capacidad de salto y la fuerza y potencia del tren inferior.  Material y método. En el estudio participaron ocho futbolistas semi profesionales pertenecientes a un equipo filial de un equipo de élite. Realizaron un mesociclo de pretemporada que incluía un entrenamiento de fuerza una vez a la semana durante once semanas. Antes y después de la pretemporada se midió la altura de salto en un salto con contramovimiento (CMJ) en una plataforma de contacto,  se calculó el peso máximo con el que podían realizar una repetición completa en semi sentadilla (1RM) y se midió la potencia muscular desarrollada en este ejercicio con diferentes porcentajes de carga (Pot1=30% 1RM, Pot2= 44% 1RM, Pot3= 58% 1RM, Pot4= 72% 1RM) a través de un encoder rotatorio. Resultados. La potencia muscular se incrementó en las cuatro cargas (Pot 1 de 785±106 a 1010±143 W; p<0.05. Pot 2: de 1081±165 a 1295±198 W; p<0.05. Pot 3: de 1208±216 a 1407±205 W;p<0.05. Pot 4: de 1304±212 a 1576±406 W; p<0.05) y se incrementó el 1RM (de 125±11.7 kg; a 159±11.1 kg; p<0.05) tras el mesociclo de pretemporada. No se produjeron mejoras en la capacidad de salto (p>0.05).  Conclusiones. Tras un mesociclo de pretemporada que incluía un entrenamiento semanal de fuerza, se producen  mejoras en el 1RM y en la potencia en media sentadilla, pero estos aumentos de fuerza en miembros inferiores no produjeron una mejora en la capacidad de salto. Palabras clave: fútbol, pretemporada, fuerza, potencia, salto.Abstract: Purpose. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a preseason strength training mesocyle on jump performance and leg muscle force and power. Methods. Eight semiprofessional soccer players of the same elite soccer team participated in the study. The preseason strength training mesocycle consisted of lower body weightlifting exercises once a week during eleven weeks. Before and after the preseason mesocycle, jump height was measured by using a countermovement jump (CMJ) on a contact platform.  In addition, before and after the mesocycle, one-repetition maximum (1RM) in half-squat exercise was measured and the leg muscle power generated at different percentages of 1RM (Pot1=30% 1RM, Pot2= 44% 1RM, Pot3= 58% 1RM, Pot4= 72% 1RM) was measured by using a rotatory encoder.  Results. After the strength training mesocycle, leg muscle power increased at Pot 1 (from785±106 to 1010±143 W; p<0.05), Pot 2 (1081±165 to 1295±198 W;p<0.05), Pot 3 (1208±216 to 1407±205 W; p<0.05) and at (Pot 4: 1304±212 to 1576±406 W; p<0.05).  Half-squat 1RM was also increased after the training mesocycle (125±11.7 kg; to 159±11.1 kg; p<0.05). However, there were no improvements in the jump ability after the training (p>0.05). Conclusions. A preseason strength training mesocycle with lower body weightlifting exercises once a week improved half-squat 1RM and leg muscle power.  However, these leg muscle force enhancements did not translated into an improved jump ability.Key words: soccer, preseason, strength, power, jump.

Our objective was to examine the relationship between change of direction (CoD) performance, with (CoDb), and without the ball (CoDwb), and selected measures of physical fitness (jump performance, speed, balance) in elite soccer players, according to players’ positions. Forty elite male soccer players performed the change-of-direction and acceleration test (CODAT) with (CODATb), and without the ball (CODATwb), 5- and 20-m sprint tests, the 5-jump test (5JT), and the Y-balance test (YBT). Analyses of the whole sample showed significant correlations between all CODAT measures (CODATwb and CODATb, respectively) and sprint 5-m (r = 0.72, p < 0.001; r = 0.52, p < 0.01), sprint 20-m (r = 0.54, p < 0.03; r = 0.45, p < 0.05), jump (r = −0.62, p < 0.01; r = −0.64, p < 0.01) and balance (r = −0.50, p < 0.01; r = −0.83, p < 0.001) performances. Correlations were significantly different between player positions (defender, midfielder and striker). When examining the entire sample, the single best predictor of CODATwb was performance in the 5-m test with an explained variance of 52% (p < 0.001). For CODATb, the Y-balance performance explained 68% of the variance of performance (p < 0.001). In conclusion, soccer coaches and fitness trainers are advised to improve players’ CoD using neuromuscular training that mimic crucial match actions. Meanwhile, CoD testing and training should be designed in line with the demands of playing position.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of complex-paired and reverse-contrast 10-week training programs on sprint, power, and change-of-direction speed performance of elite academy soccer players. Methods: Seventeen elite academy soccer players each performed assessments of the 10- and 40-m sprint, Abalakov vertical jump, seated medicine-ball throw, and Arrowhead change-of-direction speed test, both prior to and after a twice-weekly 10-week resistance-training program. The participants were randomly split into 2 groups; the complex-paired training group (CPT, n = 9) performed 4 different complex pairs (heavy-resistance exercises paired with plyometric and Olympic lifting–style exercises), with each pair being interspersed with an 8-minute recovery period in line with recommended guidelines. The comparative group—the reverse-contrast training group (RCT, n = 8)—performed the same exercises; however, all of the plyometric and Olympic lifting exercises preceded the heavy-resistance exercises. Results: Both groups achieved postintervention increases in the seated medicine-ball throw test (CPT +1.8% and RCT +1.6%, P < .05), whereas VJ performance improved only in the CPT group (+3.4%, P = .003). No significant improvements were observed in either the 10- and the 40-m sprint or Arrowhead change-of-direction speed test for either group. Conclusions: The CPT experienced a small but significant within-group improvement in jump performance. However, no significant between-groups differences were observed in any of the testing variables postintervention. Subsequently, for academy soccer athletes, the CPT approach did not produce meaningful benefits to performance compared with a more time-efficient reverse-contrast approach.
