A adição do treinamento contínuo no limiar de lactato aumenta a performance de jogadores de futebol

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.
