Tennis is an individual sport characterised by high-intensity action, including sprints and changes of direction (COD). However, there is a gap in the knowledge of limb asymmetries in adolescent tennis players and their association with performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between asymmetry in vertical and horizontal jump tests (CMJ and HJ) and COD with lower limb performance variables in adolescent tennis players.

- Futsal is a fast-paced team sport that requires explosive actions, highlighting the need for effective training strategies to boost performance, especially in young players.* ! -
- This study examined the effects of two different training programs: one focusing on strength (SG) involving eccentric training and plyometrics, and the other on velocity (VG) with sprinting and agility exercises, conducted over eight weeks.* ! -
- Results showed that both SG and VG significantly enhanced lower body performance, with SG leading to greater improvements in change of direction skills compared to the control group and VG.* !
