Recent research has proposed that training strength and endurance in one micro training cycle is more efficient for strength adaptations than strength training alone. However, there is still discrepancy on which order of training is better for physical fitness in youth. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to examine the chronic effects of training sequence on physical fitness and soccer skills in adolescent soccer players. Thirty-six injury-free, male, adolescent soccer players were assigned in pairs based on pre-test jumping height and thereafter randomly assigned to either the strength-endurance (SE = 16) or the endurance-strength (ES = 20) sequence. For 12 weeks, players performed 13 minutes of plyometric training (strength) and 13 minutes of small sided games (endurance) in the same order, twice a week. A small to medium chronic effect was found in favor of the ES sequence for the 30m sprint (η² = 0.04) and small chronic effects in favor of the SE sequence were found for the 20m-shuttlerun test (η² = 0.02) and counter movement jump (η² = 0.01). No sequence by time effects were found for ball kicking velocity, Illinois agility test without and with ball. All differences on physical fitness and soccer skill measures were not significant (p ≥ 0.05). These results indicate that training sequence may be able to modulate small but practically relevant changes to specific physical attributes, but not on soccer skills. However, discrepancy across studies remains on which sequence is favored for these physical attributes. Keywords: Concurrent training, athletic performance, muscle power, lower-body, lower-limbs
