Twenty semi-professional male soccer players participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated to an experimental group (EG, n = 10 players), who performed a maximal strength-training program, or to a control group (CG, n = 10 players), who only performed their regular soccer training. Physical fitness was measured at baseline and after the training program. In addition, the injury incidence, burden, training/match load, and the state of well-being of the players were recorded. The EG showed significant improvements in vertical jumps, change in direction ability, linear sprints, repeated sprint ability, isometric strength (p < 0.003; effect size = 1.78–11.86), and quadriceps–hamstring imbalance in both legs (p < 0.001; effect size = 2.37–3.71) in comparison to the CG. In addition, the EG players showed a significantly (p < 0.05) lower injury burden (p < 0.001, relative risk = 5.05, 95% confidence interval = 3.27–7.79). This study demonstrated the beneficial effects of a 12-week maximal strength-training program on physical fitness attributes and injury burden in semi-professional soccer players. eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ © 2023 The authors Atribución 4.0 Internacional Football Fútbol Sports injuries - Prevention Lesiones deportivas - Prevención Deportes - Accidentes y lesiones Performance Physical fitness Aptitud física Strength training Entrenamiento (Deportes) Health Salud Sports medicine Medicina deportiva Public health Is a maximal strength-training program effective on physical fitness, injury incidence, and injury burden in semi-professional soccer players?
