“…The rst group (n = 26, mean ± SD: height = 168.2 ± 5.42 cm, body weight = 54.04 ± 6.39 kg, BMI = 19.1 ± 1.6 kg/m 2 consisted of students with excellent cardiorespiratory endurance (maximal oxygen uptake; > 60 ml/kg/min), while the second group (n = 25, mean ± SD: height = 174.8 ± 4.49 cm, body weight = 78.3 ± 10.97 kg, BMI = 25.9 ± 3.3 kg/m 2 ) consisted of students with poor cardiorespiratory endurance (maximal oxygen uptake; < 60 ml/kg/min). Recent studies have shown that the VO 2 Max reference value of well-trained youth and elite soccer players is 60 ml /kg/min [25][26][27] . Therefore, for this study, we also used the reference value of 60ml/kg/min based on the distinction between the excellent group (EG) and the non-excellent group (NEG).…”

This study aims to investigate the differences in locomotion characteristics according to cardiorespiratory endurance in adolescents. The subjects were 51 students in the third grade of middle school, divided into the EG group (excellent group) and NEG group (non-excellent group) according to the cardiorespiratory endurance level. This study investigates the differences in locomotion characteristics according to cardiorespiratory endurance in adolescents. We used a 20-shuttle-run for cardiorespiratory endurance level, and a 1-minute walking test was performed for each speed by applying a differential speed. Cardiorespiratory endurance variables were based on VO2 Max, and locomotion variables were analyzed by spatial-temporal parameters and foot range of motion parameters. Regarding the locomotion spatial-temporal parameters, adolescents with excellent cardiorespiratory endurance showed a more regular pattern, while foot inversion showed a more abnormal pattern. In particular, when the locomotion speed was slow, these characteristics were more clearly distinguishable. Our results confirm the characteristics of locomotion according to the growth of adolescents and can mediate the difference in walking speed to use as a primary database for the locomotion of adolescents.

“…Circuit training, a popular type of exercise, integrates strength training and cardiovascular exercise in a series of consecutive stations (Paoli et al, 2013;Mohammed et al, 2018). This dynamic approach to fitness offers a range of benefits, including improved cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance (Fragala et al, 2019).…”

Endurance training plays a pivotal role in football performance, shaping players’ cardiovascular fitness and metabolic adjustments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different changes in biochemical parameters after exposure to 12 weeks of circuit training based on endurance in football. A total of fifteen elite football players, with an average age of 16.87 ± 1.13 years, an average weight of 61.87 ± 5.94 kg, and an average height of 172.82 ± 5.18 cm, participated in the study. On average, they had been training for 5.0 ± 1.0 years and had intermediate experience in national-level competitions for 4.0 ± 1.0 years. Following the initial data collection, the participants engaged in a twelve-week endurance training programme, involving one hour of daily training for four days a week. Pre-experimental designs were used in the data collection process. Further, for the analysis and extraction of data, descriptive statistics and t-tests were employed. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Significant changes were found from baseline to post-treatment in each player’s biochemical parameters. A significant increase in HDL, haemoglobin, creatine, and RBC and a significant decrease in LDL and VLDL were observed. The findings of this study underscore the potential benefits of endurance training for elite football players, as reflected in positive alterations in various biochemical parameters. However, for more comprehensive conclusions and a deeper understanding of the broader implications. Future research is recommended with larger sample sizes, control groups, and more detailed performance outcome measurements. This research contributes to our knowledge of the physiological responses of elite football players to endurance training and the potential advantages, it offers in optimising their performance and overall health.

Background and Study Aim. Given the global spread of COVID-19 and its profound effects on public health, understanding its impact on the physical health and performance of young athletes is crucial for developing guidelines to support their recovery and well-being. The goal of this research was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 infection and possible consequences on the functional abilities of schoolchild athletes, and determine whether there are differences compared to their peers who did not suffer the infection. Material and Methods. This study involved 100 teenagers (median age 15.7±1.167), who engage in two different sports (basketball and soccer), divided into two groups. The first group comprised young athletes (n=53, age 15.79±1.854) who had contracted COVID-19 and underwent 14 days of home isolation. The second group consisted of healthy child athletes (n=47, age 15.60±1.313). Participants underwent a comprehensive pre-participation sports medical examination, which included a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) on a treadmill. CPET assessed various physiological parameters: maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max); heart rates at the first and second ventilatory thresholds (HR at VT1 and HR at VT2); respiratory exchange ratio (RER); maximal pulmonary ventilation (VEmax); ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2); oxygen pulse (O2/HR); maximum heart rate (HRmax); three-minute heart rate recovery; and potential electrocardiographic changes. Results. The results indicate that COVID-19 infection has led to statistically significant impairments in the cardiorespiratory functions of child athletes. Notably, there were significant reductions in maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), maximal pulmonary ventilation (VEmax), oxygen pulse (O2/HR), as well as heart rates at the first ventilatory threshold (HR at VT1), maximum heart rate (HRmax), and heart rate recovery following maximal effort, all demonstrating p-values less than 0.05. Conclusions. The assessed parameters demonstrated that the functions were statistically significantly impaired in child athletes who had recovered from COVID-19 compared to their healthy peers of the same age. However, the infection appeared to have a minimal impact on heart rate variability at ventilatory thresholds. These findings offer valuable insights for coaches and sports medicine physicians in adjusting training programs and supporting the rehabilitation process for young adolescent athletes resuming their training after recovering from COVID-19.
