Pre-test - post-test control group research design was used. The study was randomly divided into two groups as resistance band group (n=15) and control group (n=15) by randomization method. While the resistance band and control groups continued their regular soccer training, the resistance band group performed resistance band exercises before training 2 days a week for 6 weeks in addition to soccer training. Resistance band and control groups were tested for strength performance; explosive strength; vertical jump, standing long jump, backward medicine ball throw, upper body and core muscular endurance; plank test, 30 seconds push-ups, 30 seconds sit-ups, maximal strength; back and leg strength test, and for anaerobic power; pediatric rast test were applied. At the end of 6-week training, the two-way ANOVA test with repeated measures was used to determine the difference between the repeated measurement results obtained at two different time points in the dependent groups. Significance level was determined as p<0.05 in all calculations. When the pre-test and post-test differences of the resistance band group and the control group were examined, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in explosive strength, muscular endurance, maximal strength values and a statistically significant difference in anaerobic power parameter.}, number={2}, publisher={Kadir YILDIZ}
