Abstract EN
Aim.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max) and repeated sprint ability (RSA) in a group of professional soccer players.
Methods.
Forty-one professional soccer players (age 23±4 yrs, height 180.0 ± 5.3 cm, weight 79.6 ± 5.3 kg) were required to perform tests to assess RSA and VO2 max on two separate days with at least 48 hr rest between testing sessions.
Each player performed a treadmill test to determine their VO2 max and a test for RSA involving the players completing 6×40 m sprints (turn after 20 m) with 20 s active recovery between each sprint.
Results.
There was a significant negative correlation between body mass normalised VO2 max and mean sprint time (RSAmean) (r=-0.655; P<0.01) and total sprint time (RSAtotal) (r=-0.591, P<0.01).
Conclusion.
Results of the current study indicate that VO2 max is one important factor aiding soccer players in the recovery from repeated sprint type activities.
