FACT FILE

‘Professional soccer players perform about 50 turns, comprising sustained forceful contractions to maintain balance and control of the ball against defensive pressure. Hence strength and power share importance with endurance in top level soccer play. Power is, in turn, heavily dependent on maximal strength.' Br J Sports Med 2004;38:285-288
