Abstract

The paper aims to determine the relation of the indices of lower limbs strength in 12-13-year-old soccer players. Methods. Therefore, exploratory research was conducted within the CS Otopeni, soccer department, with a group of 26 children aged 12-13 years. The strength of lower limbs was tested by means of Opto Jump Next system. Specific tests used: Test 1, CMJ (flight time and height), test 2, Squat jumps (SJ) (flight time, height) and test 3, Jumps 15 sec (number of jumps, contact time, flight time, power, pace and RSI). The relation between the measured indices was analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient (KyPlot). Determining the relation between lower limbs strength indices of soccer players aged 12-13 highlights differences between the evaluated parameters and their degree of correlation.
