ENHANCING LEG STRENGTH OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS THROUGH WEIGHT TRAINING EXERCISES: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

This article presents an exploratory study that investigates the effects of weight training exercises on the improvement of leg strength in football players. Leg strength plays a crucial role in the performance of football players, as it directly impacts their ability to sprint, jump, tackle, and execute powerful kicks. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of weight training exercises in enhancing leg strength and examines the potential benefits for football players. A pre- and post-intervention design is employed, where football players undergo a structured weight training program targeting the lower body. The study's findings provide insights into the effectiveness of weight training exercises in improving leg strength, contributing to the understanding of strength training interventions for football players.
