Linear and Curvilinear Sprint Performance Comparison in Footballers With and Without Cerebral Palsy
> 0.05).ConclusionsIn conclusion, this study highlights inter-limb differences and reduced sprint performance in footballers with CP compared to an able-bodied group of players. Identifying specific differences in curvilinear and linear sprint performance may inform targeted training programs, support coaching and training decisions, and inform future classification research based on impairment-related performance effects.
