Agility and Sprint Performance in Youth Soccer: A Comparison of FIFA 11+ and RAMP Protocols

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Children, Adult

In brief

This randomized clinical trial investigates the comparative effects of the FIFA 11+ and RAMP (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, Potentiate) warm-up protocols on the agility and sprint performance of young soccer players. The study involves 34 male players aged 8 to 15, who will be randomly assigned to one of the two warm-up groups for a six-week intervention period. Key performance outcomes-agility, measured by the Illinois Agility Test, and sprint speed, measured by a 30-meter sprint test-will be assessed both before and after the intervention. The research aims to address a gap in sports science by directly comparing these two popular protocols in a youth population, with the goal of providing coaches with clear, evidence-based recommendations for optimizing athlete development and reducing injury risk. Data will be analyzed through SPSS version 27.00.
