Summary

This study aims at investigating the recovery kinetics of skeletal muscle damage, neuromuscular fatigue and performance following a single change of direction (COD) training session in competitive soccer players. The impact of COD degrees will be also examined by comparing a 45o vs. 90o COD training session. Ten male soccer players will perform a COD45 \[A single training session including 2x(10x \~27.6m) sprints with two 45o COD in each sprint\], a COD90 \[A single training session including 2x(10x \~21.2m) sprints with two 90o COD in each sprint\] and a Control trial (No intervention included, only daily measurements) in randomized, repeated measures, crossover design. Assessments related to skeletal muscle damage, neuromuscular fatigue and performance will be performed prior to training session and daily for three consecutive days post-training, in each trial.

Conditions

  • Skeletal Muscle Damage

Interventions

OTHER

COD45

Participants will perform 2 sets of 10 sprints. The total distance for each sprint will be 27.6 meters and will include two changes of direction of 45 degrees. The recovery time will be 16 seconds between sprints and 2.20 minutes between sets

OTHER

COD90

Participants will perform 2 sets of 10 sprints. The total distance for each sprint will be 21.2 meters and will include two changes of direction of 90 degrees. The recovery time will be 16 seconds between sprints and 2.20 minutes between sets
