Overview

This study shows injury risk in youth soccer players is significant while examining force in different age groups.

Key Points

  • To examine isometric mid-thigh pull data and its relationship to injury risk in youth and adult soccer players across various age groups.
  • Comparison of isometric mid-thigh pull data from girls youth soccer players and adult players.
  • Categorization of players into Foundation Development Phase, Youth Development Phase, and Professional Development Phase.
  • Analysis of net peak and relative net peak forces.
  • Moderate-to-large differences in peak force observed between Foundation Development Phase and other phases.
  • No differences in force between Youth and Professional Development Phases.
  • Findings indicate maximal and rapid relative strength plateaus with age, raising injury risk concerns.
