a Summary, etc Sprint performance is considered an important fitness component of soccer physical performance and recent studies has shown that sprint performance is correlated to high intensity activity during actual match-play. Although several tests aim at evaluating agility, there is a lack of information regarding the athletes dominant side to accelerate, decelerate and especially change direction of movement according to the changing requirements of the environment. Thus the aim of the present study was to investigate the dominant side (left or right leg) on the sprint performance. Technical and tactical skills in soccer are highly dependent on the player’s physical capacity. More than 90% of a game is performed by aerobic metabolism, and the average intensity is around the anaerobic lactate threshold (80–90% of maximal heart rate). Although most of the game is aerobic, the most decisive skills, such as the ability to jump high and sprint fast in duels against opponents, are anaerobic. Wisløff et al showed a strong correlation between maximal muscle strength, vertical jump performance, and 10–30 m sprint times in well trained male elite soccer players. Whether this relation also exists in younger, less well trained soccer players is not known. The main tests for measuring force, power, and sprint in soccer players are the vertical jump on a force platform and the 10–30 m sprint.
