Summary

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of flywheel resistance exercise versus free weight high load low velocity resistance exercise, where both modalities are carried out in a squat exercise with maximal intended mobilization of force contractions and combined with football practices, on 10 meter sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ) and one repeition maximum (1RM) partial 90° range of motion (ROM) squat strength in football players. The investigators 1) hypothesize that resistance exercise using flywheels and barbell free weights (BFW) combined with football practices will equally improve sprint time and jump height, and 2) the investigators hypothesize that squats carried out in a BFW exercise will result in superior improvements in 1RM partial squat compared with flywheel squats.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Flywheel squats versus free weight high load squats for explosive actions in football

Over the course of the interventions, all players in all three groups will be instructed to adhere to their two-three weekly football practices and preseason matches of their team (\~one weekly match). The flywheel group performes squat resistance exercise in using a flywheel device, and the barbell free weight group performes squat resistance exercise using an Olympic barbell and weights.
