Abstract: Elite athletes need to develop physical fitness especially muscular performance to improves running abilities that need to transfer muscular strength to maximum velocity and repeated sprints. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a single set of light load resistance training until exhaustion combining with plyometric and sprint training on running abilities of soccer players. The subjects were 30 young male soccer players (16.01 +0.8 years) who divided into 3 groups: Prior exhaustive exercise group (PEG) Traditional sprint training group (TG) and control group (CG) followed only the soccer training. Both the PEG and TG addition sprint training twice a week(Monday and Thursday) using the same training protocol by practicing plyometric jumps 5-6 times continuously, 30 meters sprint and 20 seconds active resting between laps.The only different was that PEG performed an additional setof 20% 1RM barbell half-squat until exhaustion for stimulated type I fibers before each training session.The running test includes SEMO agility test (SEMO), sprint time in 10 and 40 m (T10, T40)and running based anaerobic sprint test(RAST)were measures before and after 6 weeks training. The PEG showed greater gains(p<0.05) in SEMO, T10, T40 and RAST than CG. In addition, PEG found likely improves (percentage change, Δ%)a decrease in sprint time compared TG and CG in SEMO (-2.17 ± 2.56 vs -2.13 ± 2.06 vs -0.34 ± 0.88 Δ%), T10 (-3.67 ± 2.77 vs -1.76 ± 1.80 vs -0.35 ± 0.57 Δ%), T40 (-2.41 ± 0.91vs -1.26 ± 1.71 vs 0.14 ± 0.82 Δ%), and RAST (21.54 ± 7.41vs 9.11 ± 7.45 vs-0.16 ± 6.79 Δ%). These results show slight difference between experimental groups. But PEG found a greater improvement than TG and CG that showed theinclusion of light load resistance traininguntil exhaustion combined plyometric and sprint trainingcan be a strategy for develop running abilities ofsoccer player.
