Özet

Purpose. Research indicates that the quadriceps muscle group significantly influences jumping, balance, and ball-striking speed, while the hamstrings play a crucial role in maintaining knee stability during running and twisting movements. This study aims to evaluate the impact of isoinertial strength training, which is believed to enhance hamstring strength in young football players, on dynamic balance, dribbling skills, and shooting speed. Materials and Methods. Forty-two U-16 football players from amateur team academies participated in the study and were divided into an experimental group (EG, n = 21) and a control group (CG, n = 21). In this study, young football players in the EG engaged in a 15-min isoinertial strength training program, incorporated into their warm-up routine twice a week for 8 weeks, before standard football training sessions. In contrast, the CG adhered to their usual warm-up and football training practices during the study period. The research design involved pre-test assessments, a 6-week isoinertial training intervention, and post-test evaluations. Pre-test data were collected from all participants before the training period, and post-test data were collected upon completion of the program. Various performance measures were evaluated, including height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), the Y-balance test for dynamic balance, dribbling skills, and shooting speed. These assessments provided a thorough analysis of both physical and skill-related factors pertinent to football performance. The CG maintained their standard training regimen without the addition of isoinertial strength exercises, facilitating a comparison of the effects of the isoinertial training intervention on the selected outcomes. Results. The data presented in this study indicate the potential of eccentric training to significantly enhance shooting speed (p < 0.001), balance (p < 0.001), and skill performance (p < 0.004) in adolescent athletes (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Improving skill-related performance during adolescence is crucial for creating effective movement patterns early in athletic development, thereby preparing athletes for more complex movements in the future.
