In another study, an 8-week mesocycle of resistance training (RT) was compared with pyometric training (PLY) and a control group (CG). Soccer players in the RT group performed three sets of exercises with 10 repetitions twice a week at 80% \begin{table}

Table 5: Relative peak torque and relative peak power during the knee extension before and after the training intervention. 1 RM (1-3 weeks). Afterward, eight reps at 85% 1 RM (4-6 weeks) and six reps at 90% 1 RM (7-8 weeks) were performed. The PLY protocol involved a preparatory phase (weeks 1-2), followed by two 3-week periods of progressive loads (weeks 3-5 and weeks 6-8). The results of the isokinetic test showed a significant improvement in the maximum torque of the extensors and flexors of the knee joint (large ES). It was found that the RT group had a higher level of peak torque extensor compared to the control group (CG), while it did not differ from the PLY group.
