Abstract

BRAZ, T.V. et al. Velocity changes in Brazilian young soccer players during the in-season competitive phase and its relationship to training. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.3, pp.103-108. ISSN 2172-5063.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ramd.2015.02.001.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the change in velocity in young soccer players during the competitive period and its relation to the training content. Method: Participants were 17 soccer players (16.3 ± 0.4 years old, 70.2 ± 6.1 kg, 176 ± 6.4 cm). The team was analyzed for 17 weeks during competitive period. Evaluations were made of the velocity at 10 m (V10 m) and 30 m (V30 m) in three distinct moments (M1= 1st, M2= 10th and M3= 17th week). Results: The main results show a significant decrease (p < 0.05) of M1 (7.25 ± 0.2 m/s) to M3 (7.05 ± 0.2 m/s) for variable V30 m and significant increase in V10 m. Conclusion: We conclude that the applied training in the competitive period analyzed for V10 m caused a significant improvement and a decrease in V30 m for young soccer players in the study.
