Cover Story: This study assessed the effects of resistance training (RT) with high-velocity movements and low-to-moderate loads on physical performance of under-20 futsal players. A RT group (RTG) performed two weekly RT sessions along with three futsal training sessions, while a control group (CG) only performed the futsal training. After 6-weeks, significant gains in the countermovement jump height, T-Test time, kicking ball speed and leg-press were found for the RTG, whilst a significant decrease in the sprint time (10–20 m) was evidenced in the CG. The RT methodology produced positive effects on physical performance of under-20 futsal players. View this paper.
