“…Likewise, Geithner and his colleagues [42], determined a mean age of 14.1 ± 1.2 years as the time for peak VO 2 increases in male adolescents, closely concurring with the peak height velocity period (i.e., the period where maximum rate of growth during adolescence occurs). The results of Angius et al [43] support this result, indicating that adult soccer players present a fully developed aerobic capacity, while for younger athletes this parameter is still under development, a finding also reported in the study of Nikolaidis [44] in a sample of 135 soccer players 13.1 to 16.0 years of age. Nevertheless, VO 2 max, vVO 2 max and vAnT values of the 2 nd preseason period showed in the current study are very close to those reported for the same period in elite soccer players in the study by Kalapothrakos et al [12] and within the range previously reported for young soccer players [45].…”

Purpose. This study examined the variations in selected aerobic fitness parameters, namely maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2 max), running velocity at VO 2 max (vVO 2 max), running velocity at ventilatory threshold (vAnT) and 1-minute post-exercise heart rate recovery (%Hrrec) as well as height, body mass and percentage of body fat (%bF) in high-level adolescent soccer players. The relationship between %bF and VO 2 max values was also analyzed. Methods. 25 athletes (mean age: 14.5 ± 1.3 years) were measured at the second week of the preseason period (1 st period) and at the same corresponding week after a 12-month period (2 nd period). Results. VO 2 max, vVO 2 max and vAnT increased significantly by 6.6, 6.5 and 3.27%, respectively, from the 1 st to 2 nd period (p 0.01 -0.05; effect size (ES) = -0.35 -0.66). In contrast, %Hrrec remained relatively unchanged (-0.5%) during the same period (p > 0.05; effect size (ES) = 0.01). %bF showed a negative trend, but no significant correlation with VO 2 max was found during the same period (r = -0.331; p > 0.05). Significant variations were found for height and body mass (2.64 and 11.17%; p 0.01; effect size (ES) = -0.56 and -0.72, respectively), but not for %bF (1.34%; p > 0.05; effect size (ES) = -0.27).Conclusions. This data can provide useful information regarding physiological aerobic adaptations and changes in physical characteristics as a result of a year of soccer training, including growth and maturations processes, during the specific periods tested.

“…1.0% over the entire season. Angius et al [15] support this result, indicating that adult athletes present a fully developed aerobic capacity; therefore, only slight changes would be expected. In addition, one of the main targets of the preseason period is to elevate the aerobic fitness component and to maintain its high level during the entire season.…”

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to examine the in-season variations in aerobic power, anaerobic power, and vertical jumping ability in young elite handball players in a laboratory setting. Methods. The study involved 13 athletes (age: 19.9 ± 0.7 years, body mass: 90.0 ± 12.1 kg, height: 186.3 ± 6.3 cm, body fat percentage: 13.7 ± 4.8%), all members of the young national handball team. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) performance (peak power [PP], mean power [MP], fatigue index [FI]), and vertical jumping ability (countermovement jump [cMJ]) were assessed on 3 occasions during the competitive period (beginning [T1], middle [T2], end [T3]). Results. Only slight and not significant changes were observed throughout the tested period for VO 2 max (T1 = 52.04 ± 4.30;

“…Previous studies had suggested that sprint performance and high-intensity running distance observed in senior female soccer players were better than in young players (Eustace et al, 2019). Other studies revealed that there was no comparison of aerobic and anaerobic capacity parameters between adult and young elite soccer players (Angius et al, 2012). Previous findings indicated the utility of individual sprint splits in determining specific sprint performance characteristics in female soccer players with various ages (Vescovi et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study was to gain insight into female soccer players’ physical performance profiles by observing their position in the field. The sample consisted of 17 athletes who were involved in regional training at the Papua National Sports Week (PON) 2021. The players were divided into three subgroups based on their position, including specific strikers, midfielders, and backs. The samples performed 10 item tests measuring physical performance components. Based on the playing position, there was no difference of BMI among the strikers, midfielders, and backs (F = 0.174, p 0.05). The results of the bleep test showed no difference (F = 0.466, p 0.05). The results of leg dynamometer (F = 0.898, p 0.05), back dynamometer (F = 1.350, p 0.05), and sit and reach (F = 0.543, p 0.05) also showed no difference. There was also no difference in measurement results of hand dynamometer pull (F = 0.028, p 0.05) and push (F = 1.107, p 0.05). Moreover, the result of 50-meter sprint (F = 0.404, p 0.05), sit up (F = 0.493, p 0.05), push up (F = 2.204, p 0.05), and shuttle run (F = 0.991, p 0.05) also showed no difference. We believe that a female football player athletic ability is unaffected by their position in the field. The absence of variation in physical ability observed among female soccer players may be attributed to BMI. Coaches may use these results as reference data to classify strengths, select players, and monitor the preparation.
