Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effects of four months of detraining after seven months of soccer training on explosive performance in young amateur soccer players. Nine players (mean±SD: age, 18.33±0.5 years; height, 177.11±5.51 cm; weight, 63.75±8.21) from an Algerian amateur team participated in this study. To determine the effects of detraining, 10-m and 20-m, Zig zag, and countermovement jump tests were used in this study. When comparing measurements before and after the 04 months of detraining, a significant decrease in 10-m (p < 0.01), 20-m (p < 0.05) sprint and zig zag (p < 0.05) tests were observed. There was no statistically significant in the CMJ test, but there is a trend of decrease in it (35.66 ± 4.76 vs 33.77 ± 2.94). Researchers concluded that a four-month detraining reduces the explosive performance of young soccer players. Therefore, players must remain active through carefully suggested training programs if the off-period of the season is prolonged for any reason.
