Randomized trial examines physiological tests' correlation with performance in elite soccer players, suggesting implications for training.

Key Points

The study explores the connection between preseason physiological testing and in-season performance for soccer players. It aims to set normative data for elite Norwegian players.
Involves two teams from the Norwegian elite soccer league.
Measured maximal oxygen uptake and strength in relation to body mass.
Assessed various physical performance metrics like vertical jump height.
A significant correlation (r = 0.61, P < 0.01) was found between squat IRM and vertical jump height.
Midfield players had higher maximal oxygen uptake (63.7 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) compared to defenders.
Mean results showed 150 kg for 90-degree squats and 54.9 cm for vertical jump height.
