About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effects of Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) training on the physical, cognitive, and skill performance of university soccer major students in China. The hypothesis is that SAQ training will significantly improve students' physical fitness (e.g., speed, agility), cognitive functions (e.g., reaction time, decision-making), and soccer skills (e.g., ball control, passing). The study will recruit 52 university soccer major students, randomly assigned to an intervention group and a control group, with 26 students in each group. The study will last for 12 weeks, and tests will be conducted before, during, and after the intervention. The expected outcome is that the intervention group will show superior performance in various tests compared to the control group, thereby validating the effectiveness of SAQ training.

Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) Training
BehavioralThe SAQ training will include exercises designed to improve speed, agility, and quickness, such as ladder drills, cone drills, sprint drills, and reaction drills.
Regular Training
BehavioralParticipants in the control group will follow a standard soccer training regimen, which includes general conditioning exercises, skill drills, and tactical training.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Flexibility
Measured by the sit-and-reach test. Results are recorded in centimeters (cm), with higher scores indicating better flexibility.
Time frame
Pre-intervention: Week 0 Mid-intervention: Week 6 Post-intervention: Week 122
Agility
Measured by the Arrowhead Agility Test. Results are recorded in seconds (s), with shorter times indicating better agility.
Time frame
Pre-intervention: Week 0 Mid-intervention: Week 6 Post-intervention: Week 123
Sprint
Measured by sprints at 5m, 10m, 20m, and 30m. Results are recorded in seconds (s), with shorter times indicating better speed.
Time frame
Pre-intervention: Week 0 Mid-intervention: Week 6 Post-intervention: Week 124
Upper Body Strength
Measured by pull-ups. Results are recorded as the number of completed pull-ups, with more pull-ups indicating greater upper body strength.
Time frame
Pre-intervention: Week 0 Mid-intervention: Week 6 Post-intervention: Week 12Secondary outcomes
