The purpose of this study was to investigate the power and endurance characteristics of Hong Kong professional football players. Training recommendations can be deduced based on the comparison between Hong Kong and international football players.
Eighty-eight Hong Kong professional football players (height, 177.2 ± 6.4 cm; weight, 70.6 ± 7.6 kg; age, 25.6 ± 5.0 years) in the first division league participated in a battery of tests, which included: (1) height, (2) weight, (3) countermovement jump, (4) 30-m sprinting, and (5) Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2.
Compared with the test results of the first division players in other countries as reported in the literature (Norway, France, and Scandinavian countries), Hong Kong players were shorter in height (0.1-2.1%), lighter in weight (5.5-8.3%), fair in vertical jump height (-4.8-17%), slower in acceleration (4.2-5.1%) and maximum speed (3-14.2%), and had poorer aerobic and anaerobic endurance (22.9%).
The present study suggests that Hong Kong football players (or players with similar physique and ability) need to improve their power and endurance.
本研究旨在调查香港职业足球运动员的力量和耐力特征。通过比较香港和国际足球运动员，可以得出训练建议。
88名参加甲级联赛的香港职业足球运动员（身高177.2±6.4厘米；体重70.6±7.6千克；年龄25.6±5.0岁）参加了一系列测试，包括：（1）身高，（2）体重，（3）反向移动跳，（4）30米短跑，以及（5）Yo-Yo间歇恢复测试2级。
与文献报道的其他国家甲级联赛球员（挪威、法国和斯堪的纳维亚国家）的测试结果相比，香港球员身高较矮（0.1%-2.1%），体重较轻（5.5%-8.3%），垂直跳跃高度一般（-4.8%-17%），加速较慢（4.2%-5.1%），最高速度较慢（3%-14.2%），有氧和无氧耐力较差（22.9%）。
本研究表明，香港足球运动员（或具有相似体格和能力的球员）需要提高他们的力量和耐力。
