Examination of the Sprinting and Jumping Force-Velocity Profiles in Young Soccer Players at Different Maturational Stages

The aim was to determine the relationships among components of force-velocity (F-V) profiles in jumping and sprinting, with both biological chronological ages 89 young soccer players belonging categories from U10 U18. Participants performed countermovement jumps (CMJ) 20-m sprint tests. F-V assessed were associated maturity offset age, using correlation multiple linear regression analyses. Horizontal (i.e., maximal theoretical force [F0] velocity [V0], power [Pmax] slope) vertical [Pmax]) displayed very large correlations 0.79 ≤ r 0.92) age offset. combination sprinting Pmax training experience F0 explained up 94% variances age. Furthermore, similar found between performances, profiles, Identification jump mechanical determinants may assist strengthening those profile which are weaker throughout process.
