20.500.12556/RUL-136756 Lower-limb muscle contractile properties, explosive power and the subjective response of elite soccer players to the COVID-19 lockdown The present study examined the effects of the lockdown period on basic anthropometric measures, countermovement jumping performance, skeletal muscle contractile properties derived from tensiomyography (TMG), injury incidence, and self-assessed general well-being in elite soccer players. A total of 266 players were assessed before (PRE) and 32 players were reassessed 11 days after (POST) the COVID-19 period. Significant changes in the TMG parameters were observed POST compared to PRE: contraction time (Tc) increased from 6% to 50% in vastus lateralis [VL] (p = 0.009) and biceps femoris [BF] (p < 0.001), respectively; whereas radial displacement (Dm) increased for 19% in BF (p = 0.036) and 17% in VL (p < 0.001), respectively. Jumping performance remained unchanged from PRE to POST In addition, athletes rated the lockdown period as a positive event and felt psychologically better during the lockdown, primarily because they spent more time with family members and friends. Although there were no differences in any of the variables describing lower limb muscle power following the two-month lockdown, the altered contractile properties of the assessed muscles suggest suboptimal conditioning of the football players. football male football power explosive power tensiomyography coronavirus covid-19 pandemics lockdown CMJ SJ SARS-CoV-2 nogomet moški nogomet moč eksplozivna moč tensiomiografija koronavirus covid-19 pandemije ukrepi true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-05-19 14:02:44 2022-05-19 14:02:46 2022-09-15 04:14:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 13 str. iss. 1, art. 474 Vol. 19 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.012.11 1660-4601 10.3390/ijerph19010474 92186115 ijerph-19-00474-v2.pdf ijerph-19-00474-v2.pdf 1 627838C27B420F420863E6DEF7642C15 359e8d66f66cd09cb090d69e351933426da5bda0eef7f8707caec93f3a5d8295 b782c063-d76b-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156530 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/1/474 1 7a7c14cd-d76b-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156529 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
