Abstract in brief

  • This study explores how measurements from the isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) relate to key athletic skills like sprinting, jumping, and changing direction in professional soccer players, finding that stronger force production, especially at certain time points during the pull, is linked to better athletic performance.
  • The research involved 11 young professional soccer players who performed IMTP tests and various performance tests, showing that specific force metrics during IMTP strongly correlate with sprint speed, jump height, and agility.
  • Overall, the study highlights the importance of the IMTP as a useful tool for assessing and understanding the physical capabilities that contribute to soccer performance, emphasizing the role of force generating capacity in athletic success.]
