5. The relationship between multi-joint eccentric strength and change of direction performance : A cross-sectional study on female soccer players
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskapAbstract : Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a multi-joint eccentric strength test with both change of direction performance and ground reaction force (GRF) of the penultimate foot contact (PFC) in female soccer players. This study also aimed to investigate the bilateral strength and performance differences between the dominant and non-dominant limb. READ MORE
