Abstract

Previous research into the effect of fatigue associated with soccer match-play on muscle strength has employed unidirectional protocols using a motorised treadmill (Rahnama et al., 2003; Greig, 2008), thus not reflecting the multidirectional nature of soccer, or employed a protocol not based on actual match-play to support the duration, speed or intensity of activity (Gleeson et al., 1998). Hence, the aims of this study were to investigate the effect of a 90-min multidirectional free-running soccer-specific fatigue protocol based on contemporary match-play data (ProzoneÂ®) on hamstring and quadriceps strength and muscular imbalances and establish the implications of this type of fatigue for injury risk to the hamstrings.
