Abstract

The article reports on research conducted to determine the effect a 12 week lower limb plyometric training program had on body composition, explosive strength and kicking speed in female soccer players. Researchers evaluated 20 players. They found that a 12 week plyometric program can improve explosive strength in female soccer players and that these improvements can be transferred to soccer kick performance in terms of ball speed.
