Garcia D, Ramos I, Pinho D, Nunes R, Silva GCB, Mafra R, Melo G. The Assessment of Aerobic Capacity and Anaerobic Power of Soccer Players of the Professional and U-20 Categories in Brazilian. JEPonline 2020;23(5):37-45. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the aerobic capacity and anaerobic power of 54 soccer players of the professional (n=35) and under-20 (n=19) categories during the preseason. Weight, height, body fat, aerobic power (VO2 max) and anaerobic power (Running Anaerobic Sprint Test - RAST) were evaluated. Absolute and Relative Peak power (PP absolute; PP relative, respectively) were calculated from anaerobic power and fatigue index (%FI). There was no difference between professionals and under-20 for VO2 max (PRO: 53.88 ± 4.22 mL∙kg-1∙min-1; U-20 53.90 ± 3.67 mL∙kg-1∙min-1; P=0.992), absolute anaerobic power PP (PRO: 962.68 ± 153.9 Watts; U-20 1045.61 ± 141.67 Watts; P=0.057). Under 20 soccer players had a higher (%FI) (PRO: 45.32 ± 6.66%; U-20 51.33 ± 6.70%); P=0.003). These results suggest that the training characteristics of intermittent actions have to be structured individually, especially in relation to recovery intervals because professional players show less fatigue index. This may be due to a motor-functional experience; whereas, the under-20 players are in a transition phase with different performance steps and energy reserves.
