FIFA 11+ Kids program effects on jump kinetics in soccer players - A randomized controlled clinical trial.

This study aimed to analyse the effects of the FIFA 11+ Kids programme on jump kinetics in soccer players. Twenty-four athletes (aged 9-11 years) were randomly allocated to the following groups: 1) the FIFA 11+ Kids programme (FT, n = 12), and 2) control training (CT, n = 12). Kinetic assessments of vertical jump (VJ), drop landing (DL), and anterior jump + maximum vertical jump (AJ) were performed on a force platform before and after eight weeks of training.

A comparison of the effects of plyometric and virtual training on physical and functional performance: a randomized, controlled, clinical trial.

Background: This study compared the effects of plyometric training (PT) and virtual training (VT) on physical and functional performance.

Methods: Fifty-five moderately-trained women participated in this randomized, controlled, prospective study. The subjects were randomly assigned to VT (N.
