Brief Summary

Therefore, this study aims to verify the effects of a soccer training program based on the dynamic-ecological approach on U13 sub-elité players' physical efficiency by analysing explosive strength, speed, resistance to speed and muscle flexibility. This study hypothe-sises that the dynamic-ecological approach can consistently help players develop adequate physical efficiency and motor coordination.
