Effect of velocity power principle done strength endurance training for 54 wk training period to adolescent soccer players

Abstract

Aim of this thesis was to study the effect on adolescent soccer players, how ones a week done strength endurance training with velocity power principle, effect on the player’s performance level.

With this research was also studied if ones a week strength training is enough, or is there need for more training those how are more developed than others. With this method soccer players trained for 54wk. Same time players did heart rate controlled sport specific training tree to six times a week. To the study participated n=18 adolescent soccer players, all of them participated to the full time period.

Results: increase happened on every trained area inside the groups, the results had significant increase in average change pre cent. Significant change was noticed in power and anaerobic capacity. Average change value in half squats total performance power was increased 52,1% and in average at firs 15 seconds there was found 40,0% increase.

Conclusions: training with velocity power principle the strength endurance and sports specific abilities seem to develop with small increase of body weight. The vertical power performances of the lower extremities tend to increases. The movement economics gets better which gives to the athlete better changes to last longer in the game/event situation.
