What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effects of a 6-week strength training program using elastic bands on various physical performance components in adult female football players. The study focuses on whether this specific elastic band resistance training can help improve key physical abilities in this group of athletes. Participants will engage in a bi-weekly elastic band resistance training program incorporated into their in-season routine, performed before their regular football training sessions. This intervention group will be monitored over the full 6 weeks of the training program. During the study, researchers will measure knee extension and flexion isometric strength, vertical jump height, and change of direction sprint performance at the start week 1 and end week 6 of the program. These assessments will help determine the impact of the elastic band training on physical performance parameters in female football players.
