    Cond Res XX(X): 000000, 2012This study investigates

    the performance effects of a 6-week biweekly anaerobic speed

    endurance production training among junior elite soccer play-

    ers. Sixteen junior (age 16.9 6 0.6 years) elite soccer players

    were tested in the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test level

    2 (IR2), 10-m and 35-m sprints, 7 3 35-m repeated-sprint

    ability (RSA) tests, countermovement jump and squat jump

    tests, and randomly assigned to either a control group (CG)

    performing their normal training schedule, which included 4

    weekly soccer training sessions of approximately 90 minutes,

    or a training group performing anaerobic speed endurance

    production training twice weekly for 6 weeks in addition to their

    normal weekly schedule. We found that the intervention group

    significantly improved (p , 0.05) their performance in the

    Yo-Yo IR2 (63 6 74 m) and 10-m sprint time (20.06 6

    0.06 seconds). No significant performance changes were

    found in the CG. Between-group pretest to posttest differen-

    ces were found for 10-m sprint times (p , 0.05). No significant

    changes were observed in the 35-m sprint times, RSA, or jump

    performances. These results indicate that short-term anaerobic

    production training is effective in improving acceleration and

    intermittent exercise performance among well-trained junior

    elite players.

    INTRODUCTION

    S

    occer is an intermittent sports activity character-

    ized by frequent activity changes, multiple specific,intense actions (e.g., tackles, turns, headers, drib-

    bles), and high-speed running bouts of a relativelyshort duration (19,23). The ability to perform with maximal

    intensity for short periods of match play (e.g., 5-minute peri-

    ods) and the ability to maintain high-intensity performance

    throughout a full game have been shown to be important

    factors in performance and are measures that may be used to

    assess differences in performance parameters at both whole-

    team and individual-player levels (9,20,22,26,27). Progressive

    decreases in the performance of high-intensity activities, par-

    ticularly toward the end of match play, are well documented

    (1,2628), and there is evidence of reduced high-speed sprint

    performance after periods of intense match activities (25). A

    reduction in the ability to perform high-intensity activities

    during or toward the end of the game has been identified as

    soccer-specific fatigue and has been linked to the intermit-

    tent intense exercise profile of the game (14). These findings

    suggest that anaerobic capacity is a key performance indica-

    tor in soccer players and that training interventions aimed at

    improving anaerobic capacity may result in improved per-

    formance during soccer matches (19,21).

    Anaerobic training is defined as training above maximal

    aerobic work capacity, with the aim of stimulating anaerobic

    energy production (17), and can be further divided into 2

    types of training: speed training, defined as training of short

    maximal duration (215 seconds at .95% of the maximal

    speed) with relatively long breaks between (.10 times the

    exercise time), and speed endurance training (17), which has

    been further divided into production training and main-tenance training. Speed endurance maintenance training

    aims to increase the ability to sustain high-intensity activities

    (3), and it involves 225 exercise bouts, lasting 590 seconds,

    with a rest of 100300% of the exercise duration at 50100%

    of the maximum speed attained. Speed endurance produc-

    tion training aims to improve the ability to perform

    maximally for a relatively short period (3) and is performedat 70100% of the maximum speed, for 1040 seconds, in

    312 repetitions, with a minimum of rest .500% of theactivity time. Undertaken concurrently, these 2 types of

    training activities have been shown to improve the abilityof soccer players to perform high-intensity activities more

    frequently and for longer periods of time and to recover

    faster from the high-intensity activities that characterizethe sport (3,5,17,19,30).

    Speed endurance training has also been shown to increase

    muscle glycogen content (32), which is the most importantsubstrate for energy production in football (5) and so may

    further contribute to improved performance via this effect.Anaerobic production training has also been associated with

    a reduced rate of glycogen degradation during supramaximal

    activities (18) and increased fat oxidation during intense sub-maximal activity (6). Therefore, anaerobic speed enduranceproduction training in trained athletes may be a relevant

    stimulus for decreasing the net rate of muscle glycogenolysis

    during submaximal activity (17). Fatigue toward the end ofthe game (2,9,21) has mainly been linked to depleted glyco-gen stores in a large proportion of the individual muscle

    fibers (24). Therefore, it is hypothesized that speed endur-

    ance training in general, and anaerobic production trainingspecifically, would be beneficial for soccer players (17).

    However, only a few studies have investigated the effects of

    various speed endurance training regimes among soccerplayers (10,12,16,37). These studies have found improvements

    in Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test level 1 performances

    (628%) (10,16,37), repeated-sprint ability (RSA; ;2%)(10,37), 40-m sprint speed (12), and maximal aerobic speed

    (12). To the authors knowledge, no previous study has inves-tigated the effects of anaerobic speed endurance production

    training on the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test level 2 (IR2)performance in soccer players, although this test is consideredto be highly indicative of a players anaerobic energy produc-

    tion capacity (4,20,23). Therefore, we aimed to investigate the

    effect of 6 weeks of biweekly production training on Yo-YoIR2, and repeated-sprint performance (RSA), on 10- and

    35-m sprint times, and jumping ability in countermovementjumps (CMJs) and squat jumps (SJs), in a group of junior elitesoccer players. We hypothesized that the anaerobic speed

    endurance production training group would improve Yo-YoIR2 performance, mean sprint times during the RSA test, and

    increase sprinting speeds and jumping performance.

    METHODS

    Experimental Approach to the Problem

    Performance testing was undertaken at the sports facilities ofthe Department of Sports at the University of Nordland in

    Norway, to test the effect of 6 weeks of anaerobic speedendurance production training on Yo-Yo IR2 performance,

    repeated-sprint performance, sprint times over 10 and 35 m,

    and jumping ability in CMJ and SJ. Pretests and posttestswere conducted on 2 consecutive days, before and after the

    6-week intervention period. The first test day includeda Yo-Yo IR2 test, whereas CMJ, SJ, 35-m sprint, and 7 335-m RSA were tested on the second test day. The Yo-YoIR2 performances from the pretest were used to match and

    then randomly assign the players to the training group andthe control group (CG). The study was conducted during

    the last 6 weeks of the precompetition phase.

    In line with what was described by Krustrup et al. (23), theYo-Yo IR2 test was performed on an indoor artificial soccerpitch, using a portable CD player to control the speed incre-

    ments (Denon DC 1015, Denon Brand Company, Japa AU4n). The7 3 35-m repeated-sprint tests and the 35-m sprints were

    measured on an indoor basketball court. Mean sprint times,as described by Svensson and Drust (36), were calculated later

    using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corp., US AU5A). Maximal

    sprint speed times and repeated-sprint test times were mea-sured and recorded by the wireless Brower Speed Trap IISystem (Brower Timing Systems, UT, USA). The test-retest

    reliability of this system has been evaluated elsewhere, and it

    is considered to be a useful tool for measuring running speed(34). Jump heights in the CMJ and SJ were calculated basedon impulse at takeoff from the force platform (AMTI, model

    OR6-5-1) and saved to a Dell Latitude computer (Pentium 4)

    using the AccuPower software 1-6-3. Body mass (kilograms)and stature (meters) were measured before and after the inter-vention period using an electronic scale (A&D Company

    Limited, Tokyo, Japan) and a stadiometer (KaWe Medizin-tecknik, Asperg, Germany). The body mass index (kilograms

    per square meter) and the reciprocal ponderal index

    (cm$kg20.333) were calculated from these measurements(29). Pretest and posttest measurements were performed at

    the same time of the day.

    Subjects

    A high-level elite junior soccer team of 19 outfield playerswas included in the study. The players had a mean age,

    stature, and body mass of 16.9 60.6 (6SD) years, 180.9 64.6 cm, and 75.1 67.7 kg, respectively. The subjects regularlyperformed 46 weekly soccer sessions with their team and

    on average exercised 12.0 6 1.8 h$wk21 in their normaltraining cycle. The team also regularly competed withinthe regional senior series.

    Two players from the initial training group and 1 from theCG dropped out during the intervention period, and

    therefore, a total of 16 players met the inclusion criteria for

    the study, being present at both the pretest and the posttest,and completing 90% of the intervention training (training

    group). The 8 training group and 8 CG subjects were aged

    16.9 6 0.4 vs. 16.9 6 0.8 years and had body masses andstatures of 74.6 64.9 vs. 73.5 6 9.6 kg and 179.4 6 4.9 vs.

    182.5 63.9 cm, respectively. The study was conducted ac-cording to the Helsinki Declaration and approved by the

    local ethics committee and the Privacy Ombudsman for

    Research (project number 25772) of the Norwegian SocialScience Data Service committee. All the players gave their

    written informed consent to participate in the study, andparental approval was also obtained.

    Procedures

    All the players were pretested on 2 consecutive days 8 weeksinto the 15-week preseason training period. The players

    were instructed not to participate in any kind of hardexercise for 2 days before the laboratory testing. The players

    were also given nutritional advice, emphasizing the impor-tance of maintaining a normal fluid intake and diet before the

    testing days. The same advice was given before posttesting.Pretests and posttests were conducted at the same time of

    the day on the same days of the week.Test day 1 began with recording of anthropometric data

    before the players went through a 15-minute warm-upsession, consisting of approximately 8 minutes of running

    at 7080% of the peak heart rate, followed by 4 minutes ofaccelerations and decelerations over 4060 m and followed

    by a 3-minute period of dynamic stretching (at moderatespeed) of the hip extensors, hip flexors, hamstrings, and

    quadriceps femoris. The Yo-Yo IR2 (23) started when everyplayer had been positioned on the designated track. The test

    was led by 2 experienced investigators, who ensured thatplayers completed the test according to the previously

    described criteria (23).

    On the second test day, the players followed a warm-upsimilar to that of the day before. Three CMJ and 3 SJ tests

    were then conducted with a minimum of 3 minutes ofrecovery time between jumps. The CMJ was performed withhands on hips from a standing position on the force

    platform, and a countermovement that decreased the kneeangle to approximately 908 was performed before jumping.

    The SJ was performed directly from a squatting position

    with a 908 knee angle and hands on hips. After that, theplayers ran three 35-m maximal sprints and were given

    a break of at least 3 minutes between sprints. Finally, therepeated-sprint test was conducted with a 7 3 35-m maxi-mal sprint every 30 seconds. The players were given at least

    one 10-minute break between each of the 4 tests. During the

    35-m sprints and the repeated-sprint tests, the players startedfrom a standing position with the foot on a marked line

    10 cm behind the first set of photocells, and the timer wasinitialized when the players broke the beam of the photocell.

    Times were recorded after 10 and 35 m in both sprint tests.The mean sprint time was used for analysis because it hasbeen described as a good indicator of a players ability to

    perform several consecutive sprints (13,36).

    The Training Intervention

    The CG followed the teams regular training plan (Mondays at

    6.00 PM, Wednesdays

    at 4.15 PM, Thursdays at

    6.00 PM, and Fridays at

    6.00 PM) during the inter-

    vention period. Generally,team soccer training

    consisted of warm-up exer-

    cises (low-intensity run-

    ning and short passing

    exercises), technical and

    tactical sessions in small

    and larger groups, and ended with small-sided games(4 vs. 4) and games including more players (commonly 8

    vs. 8 or 9 vs. 9). Core training (e.g., sit-ups and planks),balance training (e.g., ankle strength exercises), and various

    chest, back and coordination exercises (e.g., ladder drills)were also used sporadically The intervention group (IG)

    went through 2 additional weekly sessions (Wednesday eve-

    nings at 9.45 P Mand Friday afternoons at 4.15 P M) of anaer-obic speed endurance production training during the 6-weekintervention period. The training program and correspond-

    ing heart rates for the IG are presented inT1 Tables 1 and 2.Each 30- or 40-secondT2 interval was performed across an

    outdoor artificial soccer pitch, and the participants thereforehad to perform a 1808 turn every time they reached the

    sideline of the pitch.

    Statistical Analyses

    All raw data were exported to Microsoft Excel and SPSS15.0 for Windows for further analysis. A 2-way mixed

    intraclass correlation (ICC) of reliability was calculated forall measured variables in this study. All the measured

    variables were assessed by a Shapiro-Wilks test and foundto be normally distributed. Levenes test for equality of means

    showed no significant differences in the group variances.Therefore, a paired sample t-test was used to detect differ-ences between pretest and posttest means within eachgroup. An independent sample t-test was used to detectpossible differences between the groups. The effect size(Cohensd) calculation (31) was used to detect the effective-ness of the production training for the training group. Thescale developed by Batterham and Hopkins (8) was used to

    determine the size of the possible effects. The significancelevel was set top#0.05 for all analyses, and the 95% con-fidence interval (95% C I) was also calculated for all the mea-

    sured variables.

    RESULTS

    Thepvalue for all reliability measures were p, 0.01. Fur-thermore, the reliability for the SJ was ICC = 0.85, for the

    CMJ, it was ICC = 0.90, for the 10-m sprint time, it wasICC = 0.77, and for the 35-m sprint time, it was ICC = 0.96.

    The IG significantly improved (p, 0.05) in the Yo-Yo IR2running distance by 63 6 74 m, and 10-m sprint time from

    the pretest to posttest by 0.06 6 0.06 seconds, with no sig-nificant changes in the other variables measured (Table 3).

    No significant changes from the pretest to posttest werefound in any of the variables within the CG.

    When comparing results between the groups, we found

    that the IG had a statistically significant improvement overthe CG for the 10-m sprint time (p, 0.05) and tended to bedifferent for Yo-Yo IR2 performance (p= 0.07). The effect(Cohensd) of the training intervention on the IG was veryhigh on the Yo-Yo IR2 and 10-m sprint time, moderate onboth the RSA and the CMJ, and trivial on the other variablesmeasured (

    T3

    Table 3).

    DISCUSSION

    The main findings of this study were that 6 weeks of

    biweekly speed endurance production training sessions

    significantly improved 10-m sprint performance and the

    Yo-Yo IR2 test scores. In comparison, the CG did not showimprovements in test performances.

    The biweekly production training for 6 weeks generated

    a 0.06-second improvement in the 0- to 10-m sprint time.

    Previous research has shown that explosive sprints account

    for as much as 2224% of sprints across all player positions

    in elite football (Champions League from 2002 to 2006) (13),

    and that most sprints are of a very short duration (23 sec-

    onds) within soccer match play (7,27). Sprinting has also

    been associated with the most important phases of match

    play, such as creating goal scoring opportunities and scoring

    goals (33). The improvement we found corresponds to the

    equivalent of about 33 cm in a 10-m sprint and could there-

    fore have significant effects within match play. As anaerobic

    speed endurance production training is generally consideredto improve performance during short-term, high-intensity

    intermittent exercise, for example, from a 30-second to

    3-minute duration (17,19), the significant and positive train-

    ing effect on the 10-m sprint time was somewhat unex-

    pected. A likely explanation is that a high number of

    accelerations were performed during each training session,

    as the participants had to stop, turn, and accelerate a number

    of times. Although no previous studies have examined the

    effects of the present form of production training on accel-

    eration speed, Bravo et al. (10) investigated the effect of

    repeated-sprint training with long breaks (4 minutes)

    between sets on acceleration speed, and they did not find

    any improvement on 0- to 10-m sprint times after imple-

    menting a 7-week 6 3 40-m repeated-sprint training, with

    a 1808 directional change every 10 or 20 m. The shorter

    acceleration distance may have contributed to the lack of

    adaptation found in this study (10) and may explain why

    our results demonstrate an adaptive effect.The players of the IG significantly improved their Yo-Yo

    IR2 performance. Previously, only one comparable study has

    examined changes in Yo-Yo IR2 after a 2-week production

    training stimulus (37), and observed a nonsignificant

    improvement in the performance of 57 AU6m. Several mecha-

    nisms may account for the present findings of an improve-

    ment in the Yo-Yo IR2 performance, including elevated

    creatine kinase, glycolytic and oxidative enzyme activities

    (5), improved muscle buffering capacity (15), and an

    increased muscle Na+-K+ pump a2-isoform protein expres-

    sion (37). AU7We recognize, however, that a limitation of thisstudy is that the pretest and posttest differences observed

    between the 2 groups may be partly explained by the extra

    6080 minutes of activity per week performed by the IG. It is

    also possible that the improved Yo-Yo IR2 performance

    reflects an improvement in subjects ability to change direc-

    tion and reaccelerate (10), because the players in the IG

    performed this action frequently during the trainingintervention.

    No changes in the RSA within the IG or between thegroups were observed. This indicates that the present type of

    production training is not a sufficient stimulus to improveRSA after 6 weeks of production training in trained soccer

    players. Furthermore, no significant changes were observed

    in the 0- to 35-m or 10- to 35-m sprinting times, indicatingthat the present form of biweekly production training isinsufficient to stimulate increases in sprinting speed among

    trained soccer players over a period of 6 weeks (10,12,16).Jump test performance scores did not change significantly

    during the training period. However, a moderate effect onCMJ was revealed. This finding is consistent with the

    improved acceleration speed. We speculate that the effect

    on CMJ performance may be caused by the numerous decel-erations, turns, and accelerations performed during the pro-duction training intervention, which consequently leads to an

    increased reactive strength and power output (33,35).

    The relatively short recovery period between the Yo-Yo IR2 test and the other tests (24 hours) is also a potentialconcern, because glycogen stores may have been affected,

    although previous research has shown only moderate

    reductions (9%) in muscle glycogen after the Yo-Yo IR2 test(23). Recovery time between the jump tests, the speed test,and the repeated-sprint test may also affect the present

    results, although it has been shown that allowing 3 minutesbetween within-test repetitions, 10 minutes between the var-

    ious tests, and limiting test activity to 10 seconds are sufficient

    for recovery of energy stores (11).

    PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

    This study offers evidence that biweekly anaerobic speed

    endurance production training is an effective means ofimproving acceleration and intermittent running perfor-mance among trained soccer players, as long as this training

    is performed with turns and accelerations, and is of a 30- to

    40-second duration. Enhanced anaerobic capacities resultingfrom this training are likely to be of immediate, practical

    significance for soccer players, because it has been shown(19) that top teams have superior capacity in speed andhigh-intensity intermittent endurance when compared with

    bottom teams (25) and that this may be a significantperformance outcome indicator at both whole-team and

    individual-player levels. However, generalization of these

    results to senior elite and less-trained soccer players shouldbe undertaken with caution, because only 16 junior elite

    soccer players took part in this study. Further studies

    should investigate whether the effects of anaerobic speedendurance training can be optimized by specific combina-

    tions with other types of soccer training. Nonetheless, asthe time available for training in junior teams is limited, an

    important finding of this study is that bouts of short-duration

    high-intensity exercise totaling 6080 min$wk21 can beeffectively implemented alongside regular soccer sessions.
