Determinant factors of repeat sprint sequences in young soccer players.
International Journal of Sports Medicine 2015 Februrary
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between repeated explosive effort sequences (20+20 m shuttle sprint with change of direction, kicking and jumping), metabolic response (lactate and ammonia), and fitness qualities (strength and endurance) in under-19 soccer players. 21 players completed: 1) sprint test: 30 m (T30) and 40 m (20+20 m) shuttle sprints; 2) countermovement jumps (CMJ); 3) maximal kicking; and 4) 9 repeated-explosive effort sequences (RES); 4) a progressive isoinertial loading test in full squat to determine the load which subjects achieved ~1 m · s(-1) (V1-load); 6) Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (YYIRT-1). Mean sprint time of the 9 repeated sprints (RSA(mean1-9)) showed correlation with V1-load (r=- 0.52 [- 0.79, - 0.25]) metabolic response (lactate, r=0.67 [0.47, 0.87] and ammonia, r=0.53 [0.27, 0.79]). YYIRT-1 correlated with RSA(mean1-9) (r(w)=- 0.78 [- 0.92, - 0.64]) when the body weight was controlled. Furthermore, the 3 first sprints (RSA(mean1-3)) correlated with RSA(best) (r=0.93 [0.88, 0.98]), V1-load (r=- 0.64 [-0.86, - 0.42]), and T30 (r=0.63 [0.41, 0.85]). These results suggest that the soccer player's lower body strength (V1-load, jumping and sprinting) explains a large part of the performance in the first sequences, whereas the aerobic capacity, estimated through YYIRT-1, becomes more important to performance as the number of sprints is increases.
