TL;DR: The FIFA 11+ programme led to improved unilateral jumping, dynamic balance and reduced lower extremity symmetries of several tests in adolescent female soccer players.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of strength training and plyometric training on vertical jump, linear sprint and change of direction (COD) performance in female soccer players were compared using the inverse-variance random-effects model.

TL;DR: The short-term in-season combined strength and power training program induced greater speed and COD performance improvements than soccer training alone in adolescent female soccer players.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe anthropometric, maturation, and somatotype differences of players based on playing positions, and analyze variations of accumulated load training (AcL) and fitness parameters between playing positions; and finally, explain the variation of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and peak power (PP) through the AcL, body fat (BF), maturity, maturity, and fitness levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured inter-limb asymmetries in three distinct groups in adolescent female soccer players and determined the association between inter- limb asymmetry and physical performance in different age groups.
