Intermittent resistance and performance in Yo-Yo test in young soccer players and application of the subjective perception of effort in training control
Abstract
Objective: Calculate the maximum oxygen consumption during physical effort in a submaximal field test (Intermittent Recovery Yo-Yo I) and obtain subjective perception of effort and perception of degree of recovery between the different positions occupied by youth soccer’s on the field.
Method: 32 male soccer players from the 1st Andalusian Division U15. The maximum oxygen consumption was calculated using the Intermittent Recovery Yo-Yo I field test, consequently efforts perception and heart rate was recorded.
Results: Different t-test comparing the data obtained, only reflected significant differences between midfielders vs. forwards in heart rate after of 1’ recovery, t (10) = 3.04, p<0.03, d=1.18. In addition, we found a positive correlation in heart rate at maximum aerobic velocity and perception of degree of recovery data.
Conclusions: The data show a better cardiovascular performance in midfielders coincided with literature.
