The research objective was to find out about the effect of an external resistance usage to the football players shooting speed.The research team was created by n = 8 top players (the age 24 ± 4.7 years, body height 179.5 ± 4.1cm, body weight 70.4 ± 5.1kg).During the 8-week preparation period of the experimental group we applied additional, outside resistance (ankle weight bands) at the size of 1% of the player body weight.To monitor the ball speed while being shot by direct instep we used the radar device STALKER ATS.The shooting speed level increased after 8-week training in case of the experimental group by 3.39% (1.11m.s-1; ES = 0.83; MOI = 3.51%) when the average entry value represented 31.62 ± 1.34 m.s-1 and the final value was 32.73 ± 1.68 m.s-1(P<0,05).These results show that speed of the ball can be developed by appropriate training with aplication external resistance.
