Effects of Training on Lower Limb Power in Youth Soccer Players: A Meta-Analysis

A systematic review and network meta-analysis of 29 randomized controlled trials comparing five training modes for adolescent soccer players aged 12–19. The dataset contains effect sizes for 10m and 30m sprint times, squat jump, and countermovement jump, analyzed using Stata 17.0. It was authored by HuaiBin Tan and last updated on 2026-03-19.

Use Cases

• Compare the relative effectiveness of combined training versus other modes for improving jump height based on the reported effect sizes.
• Identify the most effective training intervention for reducing sprint times based on the optimal power load results.
• Analyze potential age-related differences in training response based on the subgroup analysis mentioned.
• Validate or inform the design of future randomized controlled trials in sports training.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a systematic review of 29 randomized controlled trials, suggesting a structured evidence base.
• Analysis includes specific effect size metrics (MD, SMD, 95% CI) and ranking statistics (SUCRA) for multiple outcomes.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• The 21.8 KB file size indicates a very small dataset, likely containing summary statistics rather than raw trial data.
