Anaerobic Endurance Capacity in Elite Soccer, Handball and Basketball Players
Kinesiology
The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a difference in anaerobic endurance between soccer, handball and basketball players. One hundred fifty players (mean age: 22.35±4.31 years), 50 from each sport (mean age: soccer, handball and basketball players 23.54±4.19, 20.42±4.48, 23.10±3.63 years, respectively), pertained to the highest level of their sport in Croatia; some were even members of respective national teams. Participants undertook the 300 yard shuttle run test (300Y) and maximal blood lactate test (BL). Results showed that there were significant differences in both the 300Y and BL scores between the soccer, handball and basketball players. Basketball players achieved the best results in the 300Y test (57.04±3.41s), followed by soccer (57.06±2.27s) and then handball players (59.53±2.65sl). Post-hoc tests indicated that the soccer players (14.70±2.07) had significantly (p<.05) higher maximal lactate values (BL) than the handball players (13.70±1.83). It is no...
Anaerobic resistance of soccer players
Fitness & Performance Journal, 2009
Introduction: Anaerobic resistance, i.e. the capacity to perform repeated series of anaerobic exercises at the maximum, is an indispensable feature for soccer players. The aim of the study was thus to determine the anaerobic resistance of soccer players by applying repeated maximal sprints. Materials and Methods: A group of 14 soccer players aged 19-27 years-old was subjected twice, in January and March, to a test consisting of maximal running 6x50 m with 15s intermissions between runs. The registered times were converted to speeds. The ratio of average speed to the maximum one achieved in all 6 runs, or the Performance Index (PI), was the measure of anaerobic resistance. Results: Average and maximum speeds were signifi cantly (p<0.001) higher in March (5.47 ± 0.25 and 5.67 ± 0.28, respectively) than in January (5.73 ± 0.31 and 5.97 ± 0.31, respectively), although still rather low. The PI values were on both occasions alike (0.960 and 0.965) and were not correlated with maximum speeds. Discussion: The presented method may serve as a useful tool in determining and classifying athletes with respect to their anaerobic resistance by applying repeated series of specifi c exercise.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in anaerobic endurance in elite First-league soccer players throughout 2 consecutive seasons, in 2 phases, with and without high-intensity situational drills. Eighteen soccer players were tested before and after the 8-week summer conditioning and again in the next season. The measured variables included 300-yard shuttle run test, maximal heart rate, and maximal blood lactate at the end of the test. During the first phase of the study, the traditional sprint training was performed only 2 3 weeks and consisted of 15 bouts of straight-line sprinting. In the second year the 4 3 4 min drills at an intensity of 90-95% of HRmax, separated by periods of 3-minute technical drills at 55-65% of HRmax were introduced. Statistical significance was set at P # 0.05. The traditional conditioning program conducted during the first year of the study did not elicit an improvement in anaerobic endurance as recorded in the 300-yard shuttle run test. After the intervention, the overall test running time improved significantly (55.74 6 1.63 s vs. 56.99 6 1.64 s; P , 0.05) with the maximal blood lactate at the end of the test significantly greater (15.4 6 1.23 mmolÁL 21 vs. 13.5 6 1.12 mmolÁL 21. P , 0.01). As a result, this study showed some indication that situational high-intensity task training was more efficient than straight-line sprinting in improving anaerobic endurance measured by the 300-yard shuttle run test.
Anaerobic and Aerobic Performances in Elite Basketball Players
Journal of Human Kinetics, 2014
The purpose of this study was to propose a specific lactate minimum test for elite basketball players considering the: Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) as a hyperlactatemia inductor, short distances (specific distance, 20 m) during progressive intensity and mathematical analysis to interpret aerobic and anaerobic variables. The basketball players were assigned to four groups: All positions (n=26), Guard (n= 7), Forward (n=11) and Center (n=8). The hyperlactatemia elevation (RAST) method consisted of 6 maximum sprints over 35 m separated by 10 s of recovery. The progressive phase of the lactate minimum test consisted of 5 stages controlled by an electronic metronome (8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0

Comparison of maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold in soccer and handball players
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold values between soccer and handball players. Material: 10 male professional soccer players and 10 male professional handball players took part in the study. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max) and anaerobic threshold (AT) were assessed using an incremental treadmill test. AT was estimated noninvasively using the V-slope method. The values of VO 2 (AT VO2), heart rate (AT HR), time (AT TIME) and running speed (AT SPEED) corresponding to the AT were identified. AT was recorded as a percentage of VO 2max (AT %VO 2max) and HR max (AT %HR max). Time to exhaustion was determined as the total duration of the test. Results: There were no significant difference between the time to exhaustion(min), HR max , absolute VO 2max (ml min-1) and relative VO 2max (ml kg-1 min-1) of soccer and handball players compared to each other (p> 0.05). Similarly there were no significant difference between the two groups in the AT SPEED (km h-1), AT TIME (min), AT HR , absolute AT VO2 (ml min-1), relative AT VO2 (ml kg-1 min-1), AT %VO 2max and AT %HR max (P> 0.05). Conclusions: Although soccer and handball require different movement patterns, they may exhibit similar aerobic endurance capacity. Hence physiological requirements in both branches may be expected to be similar in relation to training volume and intensity.

Aerobic and anaerobic capacity of adult and young professional soccer players
Sport Sciences for Health, 2012
While VO 2max has been widely investigated, there is few research on anaerobic capacity (AC) in soccer players. Previous studies reported that AC is age-dependent and that young individuals had lower AC compared with adults. Thus, we wondered whether AC would have proven more useful than VO 2max in differentiating adult soccer players from young players. A total of 37 male athletes from a professional team were recruited and divided into two sub-groups: the adult (AD, n = 20) group, older than 19 years, and the young (YO, n = 17) group, ranged from 16 to 18 years. Each participant underwent an incremental test on a treadmill to assess maximal velocity (V max ), anaerobic threshold (AT) and VO 2max and a supramaximal exercise at a velocity 10 % higher than V max to measure AC. The AD group reached higher AT and VO 2max with respect to the YO group (55.23 ± 4.65 vs. 51.48 ± 4.73 mL min -1 kg -1 ), whereas no difference was found in parameters related to the AC. In conclusion, young soccer players had the same AC as adult, but they displayed a lower VO 2max . These findings indicated that AC in professional players is fully developed already when they are young while aerobic capacity is still to be developed.
The validity of Running Anaerobic Sprint Test to assess anaerobic power in young soccer players
Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 2018
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) is population specific. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the validity of RAST in assessing the anaerobic power of young soccer players. METHODS: Thirty-one volunteer young amateur soccer players underwent a standardized WAnT test and a RAST test in random order. Peak power (PP), average power (AP), minimum power (MP), fatigue index (FI), blood lactate (LA), heart rate (HR) and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were determined during the tests. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between RAST-PP and WAnT-PP. RAST-AP and RAST-FI were significantly lower than that of WAnT whereas, RAST-MP was significantly higher than WAnT-MP. RAST-LAafter was significantly lower than WAnT-LAafter; however, mean and peak RAST-HR were significantly higher than WAnT. RPE responses were found to be similar between the tests. PP, AP and MP from the two tests were significantly correlated. The standard errors of the estimates values for PP, AP and MP were ± 78.5 W, ± 44.4 W and ± 38.7 W, respectively. Peak and mean HRs from two tests were significantly correlated. No significant association was present between RAST-LA and RAST-RPE, and WAnT-LA and WAnT-RPE, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Although recruiting different physiological and metabolic processes, RAST may be used in place of WAnT to assess the anaerobic characteristics of young soccer players.
