“…Indeed, we observed that the aerobic and anaerobic potential of IL players was higher by 8–10% compared to the NL players. Interestingly, the V4 values presently observed are similar to those observed in a previous study (1.29–1.35 m·s −1 ) [4] regarding top-class water polo players and are also comparable to those reported by Fernandes et al [16] concerning long-distance swimmers. Nevertheless, no difference was found for lactate tolerance.…”

“…Due to the high presence of dynamic actions that occur in water polo match-play (body contacts/wrestling, fast swimming, offence or defence actions), an adequate strength level is essential for water polo players [3]. Accordingly, dry-land strength training has been extensively recommended in the literature, as it induces considerable gains in the maximal strength level of elite or top-class water polo players [4,12,13]. Previous studies in land-based team-sports have found higher values of absolute maximal strength in international-level athletes compared to national-level athletes [14,15].…”

“…Water polo players participate in several high-intensity bouts separated by lower-intensity efforts [1,2], suggesting that high levels of strength and aerobic and anaerobic capacity are essential for successful participation in elite water polo leagues [3]. Recent evidence suggests that the swimming velocity corresponding to 4.0 mmol·L −1 (V4), 5.0 mmol·L −1 (V5), and 10.0 mmol·L −1 (V10) as well as the differential velocity between 10–5 mmol·L −1 (V10–V5) are indicators of the aerobic and anaerobic potential of water polo players [4,5,6]. Therefore, the abovementioned indicators are sensitive indices for in-game water polo performance [6].…”

Background: We aimed to investigate whether water polo players of different playing levels and positions differ in fitness parameters (i.e., strength, aerobic endurance, and anaerobic potential). Methods: Twenty-four water polo players were assigned to international- (IL) and national-level (NL) groups or to centers and peripherals. At the beginning of preseason training, maximal bench press strength was measured and a speed–lactate test (5 × 200m) was performed to determine the speed corresponding to lactate concentrations of 4.0 (V4), 5.0 (V5), and 10.0 (V10) mmol·L−1. Results: Maximal muscular strength was similar between international- and national-level water polo players, but it was higher in centers than in peripherals (109.2 ± 12.2 kg vs. 96.9 ± 8.5 kg, p = 0.007). IL players showed higher V4, V5, and V10 compared to NL players (V4, IL: 1.27 ± 0.04 m·s−1 vs. NL: 1.17 ± 0.06 m·s−1), (V5, IL: 1.33 ± 0.03 m·s−1 vs. NL: 1.22 ± 0.05 m·s−1), and V10 (IL: 1.50 ± 0.31 vs. NL: 1.35 ± 0.06 m·s−1) (p < 0.01)). However, no significant differences were detected between centers and peripherals inV4, V5, and V10. Conclusions: We suggest that V4, V5, and V10 distinguish playing level in water polo, whereas they are comparable between playing positions. Although maximal strength is similar between playing levels, it is different between playing positions.

“…In several sports, CT is a usual method of training, as it combines the specific motions of sports, such as swimming or running, with resistance training to obtain gains in several actions/tasks crucial for increase sport performance [48][49][50][51]. Our search revealed that among the studies on CT intensity, only a few reported data on professional athletes [37,42,44].…”

Concurrent resistance and aerobic training (CT) has been applied to optimize both strength and aerobic performance. However, it should be carefully prescribed, as there are some factors, as the training intensity, which have strong influence on training adaptations. Thus, we conducted a systematic review to analyze the scientific evidence regarding aerobic and resistance exercise intensities during CT and their effect on performance outcomes. The effects of exercise intensity on a subsequent detraining period were also assessed. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, the risk of bias was assessed, and the percentage of changes and effect sizes were quantified. CT improved running times (10 m, 30 m and 10 km) and strength performance (one-repetition maximum, countermovement jump) regardless of exercise intensity used (4-47 %, ES = 0.4-2.8). Nevertheless, higher aerobic training intensities (≥ lactate threshold intensity) resulted in higher aerobic gains (5-10 %, ES = 0.3-0.6), and greater neuromuscular adaptations were found when higher resistance loads (≥ 70 % of maximal strength) were used (10-14 %, ES = 0.4-1.3). Most traininginduced gains were reversed after 2-4 weeks of detraining. Although further research is needed, it seems that higher intensities of aerobic or resistance training induce greater aerobic or neuromuscular gains, respectively. Nevertheless, it seems that higher resistance training loads should be combined with lower aerobic training intensities for increased strength gains and minimal losses after detraining. have shown that CT affects the development of muscle strength and power (i. e., interference effect) [3-7], others have indicated that CT has no inhibitory effect on strength and aerobic development compared to strength training alone [8-15]. The interference between strength and aerobic training can be explained by the training pro-This document was downloaded for personal use only. Unauthorized distribution is strictly prohibited.

“…Aerobic endurance is one of the most basic body ability of sports fitness, and it can ensure the athletes' body under the condition of high strength, high against movement quality and also it is the ability to work for a long time [1].Aerobic endurance training is also an integral part of football player physical ability training.The essential characteristics of modern football match determines the soccer movement the special physical ability must be combined with a very, not with tactical purpose physical performance characteristics with football "special" run counter to the nature of the physical features [2].…”

Abstract.With the rapid development of our social economy, the competition between countries not only covers aspects of the economic and politic and so on, but also covers the culture, sports, education and so on. Along with our country education system reforming and the deepening of the new curriculum reform and development, people are paying more and more attention to the quality education of college students, to promote college students to get all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique.Related research results show that college students' aerobic endurance training in football training has been popularized and applied gradually, and has played a good result.But the current reality is that our country university students in the process of aerobic training method is simple, and is lack of a systematic, scientific and rigor, in a certain extent, there is no accurate grasp and there exist the special characteristics of soccer program, and the knowledge of how to control the football aerobic training and technical know too little.This paper made a detailed empirical research to this, and it has the certain model function to our country university student soccer the aerobic endurance training of training.
