The addition of continuous training in lactate threshold improves the performance of soccer’s players It has been shown that the continuous training at the lactate threshold improves performance leading to a decrease of the lactate concentrations or in the threshold intensity. Here me measured changes in soccer athlete’s performance that were submitted to a continuous training in the lactate threshold’s speed in addition to the soccer conventional training. Soccer athletes (n=17) between 18 and 20 years old were located in 2 groups. The first one received both continuous and conventional training (GE, n=10) and the other, just conventional (GC (n=7). Lactate threshold’s speed increased after the two first training weeks in both groups. In GE the lactate threshold’s speed increased during the following four weeks. Our results also showed a decrease in the lactate concentration in the GE at the same velocity. These data indicate that the performance of soccer players can be improved by the combination of both training methods.

Laboratorio de Bioquimica de Proteinas Av Dr. Xavier Sigaud, no 290, bl B, Terreo CEP: 22290-180 Rio de Janeiro Brasil RESUMEN: El entrenamiento continuado ministrado en la intensidad del umbral de lactato es conocido como capaz de mejorar la performance medida en las concentraciones de lactato del umbral o la intensidad en que este ocurre. En ese estudio evaluamos las modifi caciones en la performance de jugadores de futboll que recibieron entrenamiento continuado en la velocidad del umbral de lactato sumado al entrenamiento convencional del equipo. Los jugadores (n=17) fueron divididos en dos grupos: GE, entrenamiento continuado con entrenamiento convencional (n=10) y GC recibiendo solamente el entrenamiento convencional (n=7). La velocidad del umbral de lactato crecio en las dos primeras semanas de entrenamiento en los dos grupos. El GE la velocidad del umbral siguio creciendo en las cuatro semanas siguientes. Los aumentos en la velocidad de umbral sugieren una mejor capacidad de hacer los esfuerzos necesarios en un partido de futbol disminuyendo la posibilidad de fadiga. Nuestros resultados indican que la performance de los jugadores es mejorada por la adiccion de entrenamiento continuado al entrenamiento convencional.

It has been described that the continuous training at the lactate threshold improves performance leading to a decrease of the lactate concentrations or at the threshold of intensity. Here we measured changes in soccer athletes' performance that were submitted to a continuous training at the lactate threshold speed, in addition to soccer conventional training. Soccer athletes (n=17) aged 18 and 20 years old were randomly divided into two groups. The former received both continuous and conventional trainings (EG, n=10), whereas the latter just conventional training (CG, n=7). The lactate threshold speed increased after the two fi rst training weeks in both groups. In EG the lactate threshold's speed increased during the following four weeks. Our results showed a decrease in the lactate concentration in the EG at the same velocity. These data indicate that the soccer players' performance can be improved by a combination of both training methods.
