The present study aimed to examine the influence of leg dominance on the change of
direction (COD) performance. In this study participated 94 healthy young highly trained male …

The aim of this study was to compare the physical performance profile among young soccer
players of different competitive levels. Two teams of elite (n= 22) and sub-elite (n= 22) …
