“…Comparing the predictors of P peak and rP peak, it was observed that different anthropometric and F-v characteristics played a predicting role in each case. The best predictor of P peak was body mass highlighting the relationship of muscle power with human size ( Bahenský et al, 2020 ; Taketomi et al, 2021 ). Previously, it was shown that rP peak was related with 5 m, 30 m sprint times, maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the knee extensors, half squat repetition maximal and countermovement jump height in soccer players ( Boraczyński et al, 2020 ), performance of short and maximal effort that might be evaluated by the F-v test.…”

“…Performance in soccer has been shown to rely on movements such as sprinting, passing, shooting, jumping, and change of direction ( Lepschy et al, 2021 ; Longo et al, 2021 ). Considering the short duration and maximal effort characterizing these movements, it was not surprising that the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT), an all-out 30-s test on a cycle ergometer, was widely used to evaluate performance in this team sport ( Chtourou et al, 2019 ; Bahenský et al, 2020 ). The most popular index of the WAnT has been the peak power expressed either in absolute (Ppeak) or relative to body mass values (rPpeak).…”

Peak power of the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT), either in W (Ppeak) or in W.kg–1 (rPpeak), has been widely used to evaluate the performance of soccer players; however, its relationship with force–velocity (F-v) test (e.g., whether these tests can be used interchangeably) has received little scientific attention so far. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a prediction equation of Ppeak and rPpeak from F-v characteristics in male soccer players. Participants were 158 adult male soccer players (sport experience 11.4 ± 4.5 years, mean ± standard deviation, approximately five weekly training units, age 22.6 ± 3.9 years, body mass 74.8 ± 7.8 kg, and height 178.3 ± 7.8 cm) who performed both WAnT and F-v test. An experimental (EXP, n = 79) and a control group (CON, n = 79) were used for development and validation, respectively, of the prediction equation of Ppeak and rPpeak from F-v test. In EXP, Ppeak correlated very largely with body mass (r = 0.787), fat-free mass (r = 0.765), largely with maximal power of F-v test (Pmax; r = 0.639), body mass index (r = 0.603), height (r = 0.558), moderately with theoretical maximal force (F0; r = 0.481), percentage of body fat (r = 0.471), fat mass (r = 0.443, p < 0.001); rPpeak correlated with rPmax (largely; r = 0.596, p < 0.001), theoretical maximal velocity (v0; moderately; r = 0.341, p = 0.002), F0 (small magnitude; r = 0.280, p = 0.012), BF (r = −0.230, p = 0.042), and fat mass (r = −0.242, p = 0.032). Ppeak in EXP could be predicted using the formula “44.251 + 7.431 × body mass (kg) + 0.576 × Pmax (W) – 19.512 × F0” (R = 0.912, R2 = 0.833, standard error of estimate (SEE) = 42.616), and rPpeak from “3.148 + 0.218 × rPmax (W.kg–1) + v0 (rpm)” (R = 0.765, R2 = 0.585, SEE = 0.514). Applying these formulas in CON, no bias was observed between the actual and the predicted Ppeak (mean difference 2.5 ± 49.8 W; 95% CI, −8.7, 13.6; p = 0.661) and rPpeak (mean difference 0.05 ± 0.71 W.kg–1; 95% CI, −0.11, 0.21, p = 0.525). These findings provided indirect estimates of Ppeak of the WAnT, especially useful in periods when this test should not be applied considering the fatigue it causes; in this context, the F-v test can be considered as an alternative of exercise testing for estimating the average Ppeak of a group of soccer players rather than for predicting individual scores when the interindividual variation of performance is small.

“…Identifying the differences in characteristics between DLs and NDLs in soccer players may help to elucidate how leg dominance and musculoskeletal asymmetry are related to injury risk and improve injury prevention. Although there have been several reports on the differences in characteristics of DL and NDL in soccer [18][19][20], the data are not sufficient. There are few systematic and comprehensive studies comparing DL and NDL including anthropometries [21], muscle strength, balance ability, joint range of motion, and muscle flexibility, whereas most have focused on limited factors such as muscle strength [17,22] or neuromuscular control [23], or on a single joint such as the hip joint [19].…”

“…Neexistuje ale souvislost mezi silou DK při WAnT a množství SH při hodnocení obou jednotlivých končetin společně. To je v souladu se závěry při hodnocení 30s testu (Bahenský, Marko, Bunc, & Tlustý, 2020). Souvislost také nebyla nalezena mezi úrovní odrazové síly a množství SH na DK.…”

The aim of our study was to verify the relationship between the amount of muscle mass (MM), the rebound force (one-leg jump) and the speed of power output (1s power in the Wingate test), all measured on each leg separately. The study participants were players in the highest national youth football competition (n = 69, age = 16.0 ± 1.2 years, height = 178.8 ± 6.4 cm, weight = 70.8 ± 8.7 kg). The amount of MM was measured on the lower legs (LL), the height of reflection of the one-foot on the reflecting board and the one-second maximum power in the 30s Wingate test (WAnT). Dependency was sought through correlation analysis (p < 0.05). The differences in the amount of MM between limbs do not increase as a result of football training. A significant relationship was confirmed between the height of the jump and the maximum 1s power in WAnT (r = 0.294, p < 0.05), similarly between the amount of MM and the absolute power for individual limbs in WAnT (r = 0.829 for right LL and 0.798 for left LL, p < 0.01). There is no general relationship (when analysing the results on the two LL) between the reflecting force and the quantity of MM, nor is there a relationship between the quantity of MM and the maximum 1s power at the speed force load. The amount of MM does not affect the reflecting force or the speed of power in WAnT. This is an important factor in the choice of empowerment methods for adolescent footballers.
