Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Physical Performance Parameters

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of an 8-week strength training program with elastic bands on several physical components in female football players at the U15, U19, and Senior levels. The main question it aims to answer is: Will a specific elastic band resistance training help improve some components of physical performance in female football players? Participants will perform a bi-weekly elastic band resistance training program lasting 20 minutes per session over 8 weeks. This program will be incorporated into their in-season regimen, with assessments conducted in the week prior (week 0) and after the intervention (week 9).
