Strength and jumping performance in youth athletes

Data has been collected with following study purpose: To determine the influence of sports specialization and age on isokinetic strength, vertical jump performance and asymmetry in elite youth athletes aged 13 to 19 years. A total of 181 young male athletes were recruited and categorised according to sport specialization (soccer or athletics) and age categories (U15, U17, or U19). Isokinetic strength dynamometry (Cybex Humac Norm) and vertical jump performance (Kistler force decks) were used for data collection.
