Effects of resistance training and technical soccer exercises on anaerobic performance

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: This study aims to analyze the effects of Speed Endurance Training (SET) and technical drills on the anaerobic performance of amateur male soccer players, measured through peak power, average power, and fatigue index. Methodology: A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was applied. The Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) assessed peak power (PP), average power (AV), and fatigue index (FI). A paired sample test was conducted, preceded by the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Eighteen players participated in the study, with an average age of 20.28±0.89 years, soccer experience of 5.06±0.86 years, height of 170.94±4.71 cm, body mass of 61.07±5.52 kg, body mass index of 20.89±1.72, PP of 460.83±54.79 watts, AV of 355.22±61.91 watts, and FI of 42.54±9.98. Results: The results revealed significant differences across all variables, with a significance value of <0.05. The mean differences were 40.77±21.24 watts for PP, 39.14±19.42 watts for AV, and -3.52±4.94 for FI. Conclusions: The conclusion is that combining SET and technical drills impacts the anaerobic performance of amateur male soccer players, as demonstrated by the increases in PP and AV and the decrease in FI.
