VO2 Max. Alteration after 79 Days of Detraining in First Division Soccer Players

A Study in Paraguay

Abstract

The maximal oxygen consumption represents the upper limit of the cardiorespiratory system and is considered an important determinant of endurance performance. In soccer, superior aerobic performance is associated with a high level of competitiveness, influences total team performance and in turn allows players to maintain high intensity repeated actions throughout the game. Objective: to establish specific differences in the VO2 max level after 79 days of detraining in first division professional soccer players from Paraguay. Methods: Quantitative research with a correlational approach. In intentional sampling of 24 soccer players from a first division soccer club was carried out. Athletes were evaluated using Aerobic Power protocol before and after detraining. Results: Statically significant differences were found between the first and second measurement of VO2 max (p<0.00). Conclusion: VO2 max decreased significantly after 79 days of detraining, resulting in an important decrement of aerobic capacity. Even though, detraining was carried out differently in load management between players, it is very important for coaches to be aware of this results for any similar situation, such as injury, that may cause this alteration.
