Effect of Speed, Agility, and Quickness Training on Linear Sprint, Jump, and Change of Direction Speed Performance in Soccer Players: A Systematic Review and Three-Level Meta-Analysis

Strength and conditioning journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Sept. 11, 2024

ABSTRACT This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of speed, agility, quickness (SAQ) training method on linear sprinting, jumping, change direction speed (CODS) performance in soccer players. Three electronic databases (Web Science, PubMed, Scopus) were searched, 17 studies included three-level meta-analysis. The results indicated that SAQ significantly improved sprinting (effect size [ES] = 0.79, 95% CI 0.19–1.39, p 0.01, I 2 95.9%), jumping (ES 0.83, 0.26–1.39, 85.9%), CODS 0.70, 0.29–1.11, 82.8%) when compared with control groups. Furthermore, a moderating effect sprint distance (favoring 10 m versus 20 or 30 m) was observed for performance. In addition, jump type horizontal vertical) frequency >2 ≤2 sessions/week) Finally, age >15 ≤15 years) CODS. conclusion, coaches may prefer improve sprint, jump, abilities

There has been an increase in the use of commercially available multi-ingredient preworkout supplements (MIPS); however, there are inconsistencies regarding efficacy MIPS resistance-trained women. Purpose : To determine effect varying doses compared with caffeine only (C) and a placebo (PL) on resistance-training performance trained Methods Ten women (21.5 [2.3] y) completed 1-repetition-maximum tests at baseline for leg press bench press. A within-group, double-blind, randomized design was used to assign supplement drinks (ie, PL, C, half scoop [MIPS-H], full [MIPS-F]). Repetitions failure were assessed 75% 80% 85% 1-repetition maximum press, respectively. Total volume calculated as load × sets repetitions each session. Data analyzed using 1-way repeated-measures analysis variance reported means SDs. Results no differences (PL: 14.4 [3.2] repetitions, C: [2.9] MIPS-H: 14.2 [2.6] MIPS-F: 15.1 [3.1] repetitions; P = .54) or 13.9 [7.8] 10.8 [5.9] 13.1 [7.1] 12.4 [10.7] .44).
