Comparison of multidirectional jump performance and lower limb passive range of motion profile between soccer and basketball young players

Marta Dominguez-Diez et al.

Summary: This study compared multidirectional jump performance and passive ROM of lower limbs between soccer and basketball young players, finding significant differences in ROM values but no significant differences in jump performance or inter-limb asymmetries. The results suggest that differences in passive ROM values among young male athletes may be sport-specific, highlighting the need for tailored training strategies for different sports to improve jump performance.

Implementing Strength Training Strategies for Injury Prevention in Soccer: Scientific Rationale and Methodological Recommendations

Marco Beato et al.

Summary: Strength training, including traditional resistance, eccentric, and flywheel training, is an effective method to reduce injury risk in soccer players. Training strategies involving multiple components, such as a combination of strength, balance, plyometrics, are effective at reducing noncontact injuries in female soccer players. Further research is needed to verify the advantages and disadvantages of these training methods to injury prevention in specific cohorts of soccer players.

Caffeine Ingestion Improves Performance During Fitness Tests but Does Not Alter Activity During Simulated Games in Professional Basketball Players

Javier Raya-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The study showed that acute caffeine supplementation can effectively improve physical performance in important fitness tests for basketball players, but it does not have a significant impact on activity performance during simulated games. Additionally, caffeine intake may lead to sleep disturbances and increased urine output.
