Abstrakt: Abstract: McFadden, BA, Bozzini, BN, Cintineo, HP, Hills, SP, Walker, AJ, Chandler, AJ, Sanders, DJ, Russell, M, and Arent, SM. Power, endurance, and body composition changes over a collegiate career in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women soccer athletes. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): 1428-1433, 2023-The purpose of this study was to determine longitudinal changes in fitness and body composition throughout athletes' 4-year collegiate soccer careers. Performance testing occurred before preseason during freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year in 17 female Division I soccer players. Body composition was assessed through air-displacement plethysmography to determine percent body fat (%BF), fat-free mass (FFM), and body mass (BM). Maximal countermovement vertical jump height was assessed through contact mat using arm swing (CMJ AS ) and hands-on-hips (CMJ HOH ) methods to calculate power (CMJ watts / HOHwatts ). Aerobic capacity (V̇ o2 max) and ventilatory threshold (VT) were assessed by indirect calorimetry during a maximal graded exercise test on a treadmill. Linear mixed models were used to assess changes across academic years ( p < 0.05). No changes occurred in %BF, BM, V̇ o2 max, VT, CMJ AS , or CMJ watts . A time main effect was seen for FFM ( p = 0.01) with increases from freshman to senior ( p = 0.02). Time main effects were observed for CMJ HOH ( p < 0.001) and CMJ HOHwatts ( p < 0.001) with increases from freshman to junior (CMJ HOH,p = 0.001; CMJ HOHwatts , p = 0.02) and senior (CMJ HOH , p < 0.001; CMJ HOHwatts , p = 0.003) as well as sophomore to senior (CMJ HOH , p < 0.001; CMJ HOHwatts , p = 0.02). Countermovement vertical jump with hands on hips also increased from sophomore to junior ( p = 0.005). The lower FFM and power capabilities as freshmen compared with upperclassman indicate a potential limited readiness. Coaches and training staff should account for these developmental differences when entering the preseason. Adequate conditioning programs before starting a collegiate program may help build a fitness foundation and prepare freshmen athletes to compete at the same level as their upperclassmen counterparts.
