Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to explore the relationship between force–velocity (FV) profiles and parameters obtained from the 3-min all-out running test (3MT) to uncover essential connections for enhancing athletic training methodologies in university-level male soccer players.

Methods

Forty-nine athletes (age: 19.26 ± 1.17 years) voluntarily participated in this investigation, undergoing assessments of fitness by completing the 3MT and a 40-m sprint test.

Results

D′ exhibited moderate correlations with high-speed parameters such as v0 (r = 0.48, p 

Description

The study investigates the relationship between force-velocity profiles and running test parameters in soccer players.
