Abstract
Football is a sport in which intermittent physical demands are presented, where jumps, changes of direction, accelerations and decelerations are presented, without leaving aside the technical-tactical actions, which together contribute to achieve optimal performance, this study was designed to evaluate neuromuscular fatigue by decreasing the jump height, specifically the objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the relationship between the game load and the countermovement jump height after the game and (2) to compare the countermovement jump height before and after the game in young soccer players, eight players from the under-14 category of a formative soccer club participated. A linear regression was carried out to find the relationship between the variables of minutes played, perceived effort and game load with the countermovement jump height after the game, The findings can be be interesting for physical trainers, due to the high demand for matches that are presented in today's football at a professional and amateur level.
