Beato, M, Bianchi, Coratella, G, Merlini, and Drust, B. Effects of plyometric directional training on speed jump performance in elite youth soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 32(2): 289-296, 2018-Soccer players perform approximately 1,350 activities (every 4-6 seconds), such as accelerations/decelerations changes direction (CODs) during matches. It is well established that COD have a positive impact fitness parameters football This study analyzed the effect complex protocol (CODJ-G)...
BACKGROUND: Plyometrics are widely implemented as training methodology for enhancing functional sports performance.Although several studies have analysed the plyometrics effects due to plans with a frequency of 2-3 times week, few them provided evidence supporting an equal efficiency similar programs implementing lower such one session week.METHODS: Twenty-one players (elite academy, Switzerland) were included in current study (mean ± SD; age 17 0.8 years, weight 70.1 6.4 kg, height 177.4...
Purpose : Professional football players experience both physical and mental fatigue (MF). The main aims of this randomized crossover study were to investigate the effect MF on repeated-sprint ability (RSA) effects psychomotor vigilance. Methods: Seventeen male professional performed 10 maximal 20-m shuttle sprints interspaced by incomplete recovery (RSA test). Running speed, heart rate, brain oxygenation, rating perceived exertion monitored during each sprint. RSA test was preceded either a...
Hamstring strain injuries have a significant impact in football, with high re-injury rate, particularly when the distal musculotendinous T-junction (DMTJ) is involved. In some cases, surgical repair necessary to reduce risk of and ensure return play (RTP) at pre-injury level. Case Report. A 24-year-old male football (soccer) player, playing Swiss first division, recidivate hamstring injury, who undercame DMTJ returned through after 19 weeks. This case report introduces new football-centered...
Repeated-sprint training (RST) is considered a critical method in team sports. It well known that RST effects may depend on several variables such as the duration of protocol and repeated-sprint methodology. Few studies have evaluated very short-term protocols compared different modalities. The aim this study was to compare effectiveness 2 week including straight sprints or changes direction (CODs) physical performance sample soccer players. This used randomised pre-post parallel group trial...
Beato, M, Bianchi, Coratella, G, Merlini, and Drust, B. A single session of straight line change-of-direction sprinting per week does not lead to different fitness improvements in elite young soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 36(2): 518-524, 2022-Effective prescription is especially important players, who have a very limited time dedicate specific physical development as consequence factors such congested match schedules travel. The aim this study was compare the effectiveness one...
