Correlation of selected anthropometric variables and explosive strength on different surfaces in young male soccer players

This study investigates the correlation between selected anthropometric variables and explosive strength in young male soccer players when performing on different surfaces. Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, body fat percentage, and leg length, were analyzed alongside explosive strength variables such as vertical jump height and sprint performance. Data were collected from a sample of 50 young male soccer players, with tests conducted on grass, artificial turf, and hard ground surfaces. Results highlight significant correlations and surface-specific differences, emphasizing the importance of tailored training and performance evaluation.
