The Physiological and Genetic Factors Underpinning Powerful Actions in Elite Youth Soccer
… protocol for analysing a soccer player’s maximal power capabilities. As soccer-associated muscular power has not previously been investigated, it is not known how important power is in elite soccer and, if it is, the physiological and genetic determinants of soccer-associated power remain unknown. …
