| Abstract | ||||
| Objectives: To examine special strength training program effects on physical variables and kinetic variables affecting instep kick for the soccer juniors. Design: Special Strength training program was applied for 12 weeks, 3 trainings a week lasting from 60 - 80 minutes each. Participants: 20 soccer juniors were equally and randomly divided into two groups experimental (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. Main Outcome Measures: The anthropometric (height and weight) and physical tests (isometric back and leg strength test, Quadrant jump test, vertical jump, Illinois agility test), testing skill (accuracy kick on goal), and photography with movement analysis used high-speed video camera (250 frame/s via Simi motion analysis system). Results: Statistically differences were found on physical tests (isometric back and leg strength, Quadrant jump, vertical jump, Illinois agility tests), testing skill (accuracy kick on goal) and kinetic variables between control and experimental groups. Conclusions: Although there is statistically significance for the experimental group, the special strength training is a very specific way to train as the experimental evidence for this workout demonstrates. It involves mainly weight bearing activities and some core muscle group exercises that are believed to be very important for soccer juniors. | ||||
