The Relationships Between Lactate Thresholds and Recovery Capacity with Yo-Yo Tests in Soccer Players (original) (raw)

Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Sports Sciences, 2012

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relations between the Yo-yo inter - mittent endurance and recovery performance tests with aerobic and anaerobic threshold speed, lactate and heart rate recovery speed, and whether these tests could be used as an alternative test to describe the lactate thresholds in professional soccer players. Material and Methods: 17 male soccer players (aged; 21.11±2.08 year, height; 176.76±6.29 cm, body weight; 72.17±6.72 kg, BMI; 23.09±1.56 kg/m 2 ) of a third professional soccer league team participated in this study. The thresholds and recovery tests, included an incremental intermittent running stages to the voluntary fatigue and 15 minutes passive recovery afterwards. During this test, heart rate and blood lactate values obtained from fingertip were determined after each running stage and recovery period. By these measurements aerobic and anaerobic threshold running speeds (at 2 and 4 mM blood lactate concen - tration) were dete...
