Effects Of Four Months Of Detraining On Explosive Performance In Young Amateur Soccer Players

الملخص

This study aimed to determine the effects of four months of detraining after seven months of soccer training on explosive performance in young amateur soccer players. Nine players (mean±SD: age, 18.33±0.5 years; height, 177.11±5.51 cm; weight, 63.75±8.21) from an Algerian amateur team participated in this study. To determine the effects of detraining, 10-m and 20-m, Zig zag, and countermovement jump tests were used in this study. When comparing measurements before and after the 04 months of detraining, a significant decrease in 10-m (p < 0.01), 20-m (p < 0.05) sprint and zig zag (p < 0.05) tests were observed. There was no statistically significant in the CMJ test, but there is a trend of decrease in it (35.66 ± 4.76 vs 33.77 ± 2.94). Researchers concluded that a four-month detraining reduces the explosive performance of young soccer players. Therefore, players must remain active through carefully suggested training programs if the off-period of the season is prolonged for any reason.
