Abstract

Soccer is a dynamic sport requiring multiple high-intensity sprinting, acceleration, deceleration, and jumping actions dependent on lower-body neuromuscular performance. PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to assess CMJ force-time characteristics within a cohort of female soccer athletes. METHODS: 16 NCAA Division-II female soccer athletes (x̄±SD height=171.88±11.15 cm; body mass=65.18±7.22 kg) performed two maximal-effort CMJs while standing on a uniaxial dual force plate system sampling at 1,000 Hz (Hawkin Dynamic, ME, USA) at 11 different testing timepoints throughout a competitive season. The testing sessions were separated by one-week apart. RESULTS: A one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p
