Seasonal Changes in the Physical Performance of Elite Youth Female Soccer Players
This study examined how the physical performance of elite youth female soccer players changed over a season. Researchers tracked 113 players (ages U10 to U16) and measured their speed, strength, power, change of direction (CoD), and aerobic fitness at three points during the season (pre-, mid-, and post-season).
Individual changes in neuromuscular performance in the Spanish women’s national football team throughout the 2023 World Cup
The article "Neuromuscular Performance During the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup" examines how physical performance evolved throughout the tournament for the Spanish women's national football team. The study tracked 20 elite players, assessing their strength and power using countermovement jumps (CMJ) and estimated one-repetition maximums (1RM) for back squats (BS) and hip thrusts (HT).
Effect of Q angle on some performance parameters in adolescent female football players
The article "Effect of Q Angle on Some Performance Parameters in Adolescent Female Football Players" examines how the Q angle (the angle formed by the quadriceps and patellar tendon) influences lower limb performance in young female footballers. The study finds that a larger Q angle negatively affects vertical jump performance, as it alters knee biomechanics and reduces mechanical efficiency.
Therapeutic Exercise Protocol for the Prevention of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Soccer Players with Dynamic Knee Valgus (RCT)
The article "Therapeutic Exercise Protocol for the Prevention of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Female Soccer Players with Dynamic Knee Valgus (RCT)" presents a study protocol aimed at reducing ACL injuries in female soccer players. Given that women are at a significantly higher risk for ACL injuries due to biomechanical and neuromuscular factors, the study introduces a 12-week intervention program focusing on players with dynamic knee valgus (DKV), a key risk factor.
