Normative Performance Test Metrics in Professional Female Club Soccer
This study establishes normative performance metrics for professional women’s soccer players, focusing on key lower-body strength and power tests. Researchers evaluated 28 players from an NWSL club using three common performance assessments: the Counter-Movement Jump (CMJ), Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP), and Nordic Hamstring Curl (NHC). The results showed that professional female players had an average jump height of 28.9 cm, peak vertical force of 1869 N in the IMTP, and notable limb asymmetries in hamstring strength.
