Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does functional training lead to greater improvements in technical soccer skills (passing, shooting, dribbling) compared to traditional training?
Do both training modalities improve mobility, dynamic balance, sprint speed, change of direction, and jumping performance?
Researchers will compare the functional training group, the traditional training group, and a control group to see if either training approach provides superior performance benefits.
Participants will:
Take part in an 8-week intervention.
Complete two weekly strength sessions (functional or traditional depending on allocation).
Attend two weekly soccer sessions during the first 4 weeks (all groups).
Undergo a standardized test battery measuring mobility, balance, technical skills, sprinting, change of direction, and vertical jump before and after the intervention.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
This group will use a functional training system developed specifically for football players to improve their physical strength and movement abilities on the field.
Experimental, comparator and control
To quantify the effect of a strength intervention for footballers on improved range of motion, balance, speed, jump height, and technical football skills compared to a training group performing basic power exercises and machine-based strength training and a control group.
Positive control
This group will use general strength exercises with the purpose of improving physical strength.
Experimental, comparator and control
To quantify the effect of a strength intervention for footballers on improved range of motion, balance, speed, jump height, and technical football skills compared to a training group performing basic power exercises and machine-based strength training and a control group.
