“…Most of the research has shown that explosive activities, like speed and agility do not differentiate players by playing position (Dauty, Bryand, & Potiron-Josse, 2002;Strudwick, Reilly, & Doran, 2002;Rampinini et al, 2007;Wisløff et al, 2004;Taskinen, 2008). There are several studies that have shown better results of forwards compared to other positions with regard to the sprint up to 20 m (Sporiš, Jukić, Ostojić, & Milanović, 2009;Pivovarniĉek, Pupiš, Tonhauserová, & Tokárová, 2013). On the other hand, in jumping activities, measured by squat jumps and countermovement jumps with an arm swing, significantly better results were observed in goalkeepers and central defenders (Lago-Penas, Lago-Ballesteros, & Rey, 2011; Boone, Vaeyens, Steyaert, Vanden Bossche, & Bourgois, 2012), while midfielders showed significantly lower scores than other positions on the team (Haugen et al, 2013).…”
