Six-Week Accentuated Eccentric Training for Young Football Players
Summary
NIH registered a new clinical trial (NCT07538557) on ClinicalTrials.gov investigating the effects of a six-week accentuated eccentric load training program on balance, strength, sprint, change of direction, and jump performance in young football players. Participants will undergo baseline assessments followed by supervised training and post-intervention testing using validated measurement tools in a controlled environment. The study aims to generate evidence for evidence-based athletic training strategies.
What changed
A new clinical trial has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under NIH oversight. The study will recruit young football players for a supervised six-week accentuated eccentric load training program and measure changes across multiple physical performance domains including balance, strength, sprint, change of direction, and jump performance using standardized pre- and post-intervention assessments.
For healthcare and sports medicine researchers, this registry entry represents a prospective study in the athletic performance domain. No compliance obligations arise from this registration. Institutional review boards and research sponsors should note this study if conducting similar athletic training research, as its findings may inform future evidence-based training protocols.

Effects of Six-Week Accentuated Eccentric Load Training on Balance and Strength in Young Football Players
N/A NCT07538557 Kind: NA Apr 20, 2026
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects of a structured training intervention on selected physical performance parameters in athletes. The primary objective is to determine whether the intervention leads to measurable improvements in performance outcomes such as balance, strength, sprint, change of direction, or jump performance.
Participants will undergo baseline performance assessments before the intervention period. Following the baseline testing, participants will complete a supervised training program lasting several weeks. After the intervention, the same performance tests will be repeated under standardized conditions to evaluate changes in performance.
All assessments will be conducted by trained researchers using validated measurement tools in a controlled training environment. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of the training intervention and contribute to the development of evidence-based training strategies for athletes.
