Knee flexion and extension strength in young brazilian soccer players: The effect of age and position
Human Movement, 2018•termedia.pl
Purpose To compare isokinetic knee flexors and extensors concentric muscle strength in
young soccer players of different ages and playing positions. Methods Seventy-seven young
male soccer players were divided into 3 age categories: U-15, U-17, and U-20, with the
consideration of 4 game positions: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The
concentric tests of the hamstrings (Hcon) and quadriceps (Qcon) were performed at 30/s,
60/s, and 180/s, and the ratio of 180/30 was calculated. Results The values of Qcon for the U …

Purpose
To compare isokinetic knee flexors and extensors concentric muscle strength in young soccer players of different ages and playing positions.
Methods
Seventy-seven young male soccer players were divided into 3 age categories: U-15, U-17, and U-20, with the consideration of 4 game positions: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The concentric tests of the hamstrings (Hcon) and quadriceps (Qcon) were performed at 30/s, 60/s, and 180/s, and the ratio of 180/30 was calculated.
Results
The values of Qcon for the U-15 turned out significantly lower in comparison with the U-20 in 30/s and 180/s and in the 180/30 ratio. The Hcon values for the U-15 were significantly lower than for the U-20 at 30/s, 60/s, 180/s, as well as in the 180/30 ratio. Strength levels were shown to be significantly different between the 3 analysed categories. The goalkeepers presented with Qcon and Hcon values significantly higher than the other playing positions, regardless of the angular velocity used.
Conclusions
U-15, U-17, and U-20 athletes do not have the same level of strength. The goalkeepers demonstrated high strength values, suggesting the importance of specific training for each game position.
