| Summary: | Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of an 8 weeks in-season Rotary inertia devices (RID) training program on change of direction (COD) performance and on reduce the unilateral deficit between legs in semi-professional female soccer players.
Methodology: 32 semi-professional female soccer players were divided into an experimental group (EG, n=16) and in a control group (CG, n=16). All the players participated in 3 specific soccer training sessions per week lasting an hour and a half, to which was added the weekly match league competition. The GE performed two training sessions per week with rotary inertia devices, while the CG did not perform any additional resistance training program during the 8 weeks that the work lasted.
Results: Time in the V-cut test, 10m and 20m curved sprints to the right (CSHr and CSFr, respectivelly), and to the left (CSHl and CSFl, respectivelly), time in 10 m (T10) and 20 m (T20) linear sprint test, the time difference between CSHr-CSHl and between CSHr-CSHl, were assessed. There is a significant reduction in the unilateral CSHr-CSHl deficit of the EG with respect to the CG (p-value=0.015; SE=0.375).
Conclusions: In conclusion, the use of this type of exercises carried out with rotary inertia resistance (frontal movements and lateral movements with rotary inertia devices) have achieved the balance of the unilateral deficit in a curved sprint task during 8 weeks of training in a group of semi-professional female soccer players.
