Effect of maximal sprints performed with ball on anaerobic power and performance of footballers

The effect of sprints performed with a ball on the anaerobic power and performance was examined after RAST (Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test) that measures the anaerobic power was applied to 19 male footballers whose Mean age was 18± 1 y, height 74±6 cm, body mass 65.7±5.6 kg and maxVO 2 53±5 ml/kg/min firstly in the normal procedure and then in the form of sprint with ball. Sprinting with the ball caused the anaerobic power average of the experiment group to decline by 23 % (P
