The purpose of this training programme was to enhance the performance and skills of the participating players through a structured training programme. The training programme consisted of a combination of physical exercises: plyometric, agility, and resistance training. The training sessions focused on improving key aspects such as agility, strength, and to improve stamina. This is a prospective study which is our case followed over time and data about his training. This training programme resulted in an increase in cardiovascular, muscular endurance and agility based on pre-fitness tests and post-fitness tests. In conclusion, our subject gained strength and increased his agility after following this training programme. However, some fitness tests that were measured decreased after our subject followed this training programme such as power. This training programme appears to be an effective method to increase footballers’ performance on the field.
