Soccer is the most popular game in world. It combines several elements and abilities. Agility one of important abilities to perform well. The study aimed investigates impact some plyometric sessions on developing agility for youth soccer players. Twenty-eight players (age, 15 ± 0.2 years) were divided randomly into two groups an experimental group a control group. Both tested pre-test by Illino...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combined strength and plyometric training with or without superimposed electromyostimulation (EMS) on muscle strength and anaerobic power. Twenty-nine subjects were randomly assigned to weight+plyometrics+EMS (EP), weight+plyometrics (VP), and control group (CG). Weight+plyometrics+EMS and VP performed 2 plyometric sessions and 2 weight tr...

Warm up routines are commonly used to optimize football performance and prevent injuries. Yet, official pre-match protocols may require players to passively rest for approximately 10 to 15 minutes between the warm up and the beginning of the match. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the effect of different re-warm up activities on the physical performance of football players. Twent...
