“…The jumps were evaluated through an Optojump photocell system (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy), which consist of two parallel bars (one receiver and one transmitter unit) that are positioned at the floor level [58]. The Optojump photocell system has been largely used for field-based assessments and for research purposes [59][60][61], having been tested for validity and reliability [58].…”

Evaluation of Neuromuscular Fatigue According to Injury History in a Repeat Sprint Ability Test, Countermovement Jump, and Hamstring Test in Elite Female Soccer Players

Sprinting is a fundamental component of the professional soccer player’s ability to achieve the highest performance in the sport. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of hamstring injury history on the neuromuscular fatigue produced by an RSA test in elite female football players. Nineteen female elite soccer players of the Second Spanish Soccer Division participated in the study. The participants were divided into: (1) a Control group who have not suffered previous muscular injuries and (2) a Hamstring group with previous hamstring injury at least one season prior to the protocol. The players performed a protocol consisting of a Repeat Sprint Ability Test (RSA) (6 × 40 m; 30 s rest), and CMJ and Hamstring tests before and after the RSA. The different variables of the study were compared between groups with a two-way ANOVA for repeated measures. The main findings from the present study were that, in subjects with previous hamstring injury, the performance was impaired compared with the control group: (1) in the initial meters of the sprint during an RSA there was a higher percentage difference between SprintTT and ideal Split in 0–10 m compared to 0–20 m in the hamstring group (p = 0.006; ES = 0.51); and in situations of high fatigue there was a higher %Dif1vs6 compared to %Dif1vs5 (percentage difference between the first sprint and fifth sprint) in the hamstring group (p = 0.005; ES = 0.54) compared with the control group. It seems that in elite female soccer players with previous hamstring injury, RSA-induced fatigue produces a greater decrease in the performance in the first 10 m of the sprint compared to the control uninjured players.

The study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the Running-based anaerobic sprint test (RAST) in anaerobic performance estimation in trained and untrained girl U12, and the effect of an 8-week training period in female U12 soccer players on anaerobic performance. Fourteen female soccer players (FSP) and twelve untrained girls (UNT) participated in the study. The anaerobic performance was evaluated twice, within 8-weeks period, using the traditional Wingate test (WAnT) and the RAST. FSP in that time were subjected to soccer training, and UNT participated only in school’s physical education classes. A significant increase in the anaerobic performance of the FSP was noted. In both tests peak, average, and relative power were significantly improved (p <0.005). Nevertheless, strong, statistically significant (p <0.05) correlation coefficients (0.50< r <0.70) were found for pre-training measurements between the WAnT and the RAST power parameters in absolute values. In UNT group significant improvement was found in peak, average and min power (p <0.05) in the RAST. The improvement in anaerobic performance after training along with the strong correlation noted between the WAnT and the RAST power parameters prove the usefulness of the RAST in assessing anaerobic capacity in female youth athletes. Its simplicity encourages its use in monitoring anaerobic capacity in both trained and untrained girls.

“…Fitness characteristics like body composition, muscular strength and endurance, speed, agility, skill levels, and coordination are basic on which more complex skills are laid generally in both male and female [8,11,12]. In soccer female players specifically, more complex attributes such as kicking accuracy and velocity [13], seasonal changes in physical performance and physical characteristics [11,14], biomechanical changes [15] as well as psychological traits [16] have recently been studied.…”

There are uneven academic sports policies and sociocultural diversities in Ghana. While academic sports policies and sociocultural diversities often call for acclimatization of athletes, scarce research on the analogical and diversification anthropometric and motor performance characteristics restricts decision-making policy on female soccer participation. This study presents the analogical and diversifications of the anthropometric and motor performance characteristics among the university female soccer athletes. The cross-sectional study had 44 female athletes from topmost universities with mean age of 21.54±1.79 years and playing experience of 6.75±1.51 years. Leg length, thigh girth, calf girth, upper arm length, forearm length, upper arm girth, chest girth, finger span, speed, leg power, abdominal strength, agility, flexibility, upper body strength, distant kick, dribbling, and accuracy were measured, compared among institutions, and with international normative values (INV). There was no significant difference in all characteristics except abdominal strength (P = .000), distant kick (P = .009), thigh girth (P = .003), and calf girth (P = .002). When compared to INV, there was significant difference in all characteristics except the upper arm length (p= .587), forearm length (p= .734), and agility (p= .479). This study suggests that female soccer players in all the topmost universities in Ghana are equally good sports potentials for national recruitment.
