摘要:The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between explosive strength and change direction ability in professional soccer players.The sample included 120 professional soccer players at third soccer league in Turkey.Subject characteristics were as follows: age (23.84±3.15 years),height (179.29±4.96 cm),and body mass (73.54±4.37 kg).The tests were performed at the competition season and conducted on a single day for each test subject.10x5m Shuttle Run Test to measure change direction ability and standing broad jump to measure explosive strength were used.The tests were taken from Eurofit Test Battery.All data was reported as means ± standard deviation (SD).To determine the relationship between two tests was used Pearson Correlation Coefficient.Level of statistical significance was set at P<0.05.The correlations between change direction ability and explosive strength for all soccer players and playing positions were no significant (p>0.05).The results of the present study suggest that explosive strength in soccer players was not an indicator of change direction ability.If tests included more complex ability to measure explosive strength were used,the relationships between this parameters can be obviously observed.
