“…In the present study (Table 3) relative PP and AP were as high as the same indicators of 15-16 years old soccer players (Jastrzębski, 2011, Junior, 2010 and higher than that of forwards (Joo, 2016) whereas all absolute values were lower. In comparison with 17 years old players with identical experience in soccer, the tested players showed lower values of PP, but the same values of AP (Chtourou, H., 2012).…”

Young athletes require a specialized approach to training process, taking into consideration a broad range of physiological and training aspects. The study is focused on the evaluation of fitness level of young soccer players and the search for interrelations between parameters of laboratory and field tests with the physiologic measurements during match play. The proposed paper provides coaches, sports scientists and physicians with important information on effective training control based on accessible and reliable tests. Twenty six healthy male soccer players born in 2004 currently aged 12-13 were recruited for the study. Data obtained from laboratory testing (cycling stress-test with gas-exchange measurements, Wingate cycling test, and blood lactate measurements), maximal interval running field test and soccer game analysis with heart rate monitoring were analysed. Firstly, Wingate cycle test parameters in young soccer players aged 12-13 were described in details. Furthermore, significant interrelations between indicators of physical state, obtained from the various types of tests were revealed. The most important finding was close correlations between measured indicators during the game with results of laboratory and field tests. Based on mentioned above, laboratory and field tests can be widely used in training control of young soccer players.

“…In each game, a different subject was playing as a 'floater'. The previous studies reported that this number of players in a game provides players with a greater frequency of technical actions than 5vs.5 [20] or 6vs.6 [24] games. The size of the pitch was 18 m wide and 30 m in length.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval running and small-sided game training programs on the physical capacity and the level of soccer-specific technical skills in young soccer players. Twenty male soccer players (U-16) were divided into two groups (running group – RG, small-sided game group – SSGG) and completed two different 8-week training programs. The intervention consisted of two training sessions a week (RG – 5×4 min running, with an active recovery period of 3 min; SSGG–3vs.3 games or 3vs.3 with a neutral player for 5×4 min, with an active recovery period of 3 min). A significant group × time interaction was found in the VO2max (p = 0.025). Moreover, the significant pre to post changes of VO2max were observed in the SSGG (p = 0.032). The differences between the results of shuttle runs and sprint tests were not significant with the exception of 5 m sprint in RG (p = 0.04). An improvement in the peak power and total work capacity was observed in the RG and SSGG. A significant improvement (p = 0.014) in soccer-specific technical skills level was noted only in the SSGG. The results of this study suggest that the small-sided games, compared with interval running, are more highly recommended training drills for the coincident development of physical capacity and technical skills in young soccer players.

“…The increase in aerobic capacity is expected to be the usual effect of pre-season training (Jastrzębski, Dargiewicz, et al, 2011). Nevertheless, there are studies revealing that VO2max increases at the end of the preparation period (McMillan et al, 2005;Jastrzębski, Barnat, Konieczna, Rompa, & Radzimiński, et al, 2011;Charalampos, Zisis, Asterios & Nikolaos, 2013). Other studies asserting that VO2max decreases at the end of the competition period (Mohr, Krustrup, & Bangsbo et al, 2002;Mohr, Krustrup, & Bangsbo, 2003, Dragijsky et al, 2017.…”

Seasonal change of aerobic performance of young soccer players

Longitudinal studies evaluating the seasonal change of aerobic capacity in young soccer players of different age categories are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the seasonal changes in the aerobic level of the youth academy players of a professional soccer team. This research study was carried out with a total of 51 soccer players in the U14, U15, U16, U17, and U18 categories of an elite soccer team. Aerobic capacities of the athletes were measured by Yo-YoIRT 1 Test. In the analyses, the normal distribution evaluations of the data were made with the Shapiro-Wilk test and the variance homogeneities were tested with the Levene’s Test. One Way ANOVA test was used to analyze all the parametric data. All statistical evaluations were performed with the help of the SPSS 21 package program. According to the Yo-YoIRT 1 test, increases or decreases were determined in the pre-season, mid-season and end-of-season evaluations. As a result, in the present study conducted to examine the seasonal changes of the young elite soccer players in the U14, U15, U16, U17, and U18 categories, Yo-YoIRT 1 values in all categories increased significantly at the end of the season when compared to the pre-season and the mid-season. U14 and U16 age groups gained increasing acceleration starting from the pre-season. However, in the U15, U17, U18 age groups, the case is that acceleration decreases in the middle of the season and increases at the end of the season. It is thought that differences can be observed in the responses to the training loads during maturation. It can be suggested that the increase at the end of the season compared to the pre-season in all groups may be due to the fact that the adaptation of the athletes to the training programs are affected by the developmental characteristics regarding the age categories over time.
