Official title
Evaluating the Effects of Elastic Bands Resistance Training on Performance Parameters in Female Football Players: A Pilot Study
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of a 6-week strength training program with elastic bands on several physical components in adult female football players. The main question it aims to answer is: Will a specific elastic band resistance training help improve some components of physical performance in adult female football players? Participants will perform a bi-weekly elastic band resistance training, during a period of 6-weeks. This program will be incorporated into their in-season regimen, before their training session.
