Description:
links with the capability to perceive and process external information (Korobeynikov, et al.,fi tness requirement for male soccer players to play at elite level. While the
average maximal oxygen intake for elite adult players are reported to be in the range
of 55 to 69 ml/kg/min. Although to predict the eff ective endurance training to improve
maximal oxygen uptake, recent research confi rmed obesity in terms of Fat percentage
is a better parameter than BMI for the prediction of low VO2max. On its scientifi c basis,
our aims are to test BMI VS BFP as a relation to estimate players’ physiological soccer
adaptation profi le.
Methods: to archive this objective, 148 well-trained fi rst division soccer players under 18
years, at the end of the preparatory phase before the start of the Algerian championship
2016-2017, took part in the study. Split into two groups based on their V02max under or
superior to 56 ml/kg/min. As a protocol, based on the validity of Test Cooper to predict
VO2max in the fi eld. Acceptable by cooper institute as an index of physiological training
response or as indicators of current training status.
Results: our results show in general that VO2max is acceptable indicators of current
training status. In the benefi ts of up to ≥ 56 ml/kg/min then it’s less. Claim in the present
through physiological soccer adaptation profi le more related to obesity in terms of Fat
percentage as a better parameter than BMI for the prediction of low VO2max among
players under 18years.
