Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a micro-dosed plyometric training program works as well as a traditional plyometric program for improving speed and explosive abilities in elite under-19 soccer players during the pre-season.
The main questions are:
1. Does micro-dosed training improve explosive and speed abilites, such as jumping and sprinting, as much as traditional training?
2. Does it improve reactivity and change-of-direction ability ?
Researchers will compare two groups:
* Traditional Training Group: 2 sessions per week, about 40 minutes each.
* Micro-dosed Group: 3-4 shorter sessions per week, about 20 minutes each. Both groups will complete the same total weekly training volume.
Participants will:
* Take part in an 8-week plyometric training program during pre-season.
* Complete performance tests (CM jump tests, a 30-meter sprint, and a 15-0-5 change-of-direction test, broad jump test, drop jump test) before and after 8-week plyometric intervention, .
This study will help coaches and players understand if shorter, more frequent plyometric training sessions can be a good alternative to traditional longer sessions when weekly training load is matched.
