- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to propose a comprehensive complex training program to meet energy demand of competitive games. Twelve male varsity soccer players (age, 20.58 ± 1.78 yrs; height, 172.50 ± 5.30 cm; weight, 67.83 ± 8.43 kg; body mass index, 22.81 ± 2.62 kg·m-2; VO2 max, 54.55 ± 3.11 mL·kg-1·min-1) were recruited to perform three carefully designed complex training programs, which were a combination of clean pull lifts, vertical jumps, and a 20-m shuttle run. The study used a crossover design to administer the three programs. Subjects completed the three programs on three different days separated by 48 hrs to allow complete recovery and to control inter-subject variability. Blood lactate concentration was recorded immediately after the training and at every 3-min interval until 15 min after the training. Blood lactate clearance was calculated at every 3-min interval from minute 3 to minute 15 of recovery time. One way repeated measure was used to analyze the data. The average blood lactate concentrations at minute 0 (i.e., immediately after training) were 9.90, 8.53, and 7.94 mmol·L-1 for Programs I, II, and III, respectively, which were close to the values reported in the literature. The findings indicate that Program I is recommended for coaches to train their varsity soccer players. Program I ensures that the players will get an adequate workout common to a competitive soccer match that requires a high blood lactate level.
