Comparison of respiratory variables between laboratory test and field training
| Laboratory max test | Dribbling track | Small group play | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data are mean (SD). | |||
| Vo2max, Maximal oxygen uptake; fcmax, maximal heart rate; fbmax, maximal breathing frequency; Ve, ventilation; R, respiratory exchange ratio; Vco2, carbon dioxide output; Vo2, oxygen uptake; Than, anaerobic threshold. | |||
| *Significantly different from value obtained on dribbling track, p<0.05. All training and soccer play values are significantly different from the laboratory max test. | |||
| fc (beats/min) | 198.3 (7.9) | 185.5 (6.7) | 181.0 (4.4)* |
| Vo2 (litres/min) | 5.22 (0.68) | 4.74 (0.53) | 4.42 (0.61) |
| Vo2 (ml/kg/min) | 67.8 (7.6) | 62.2 (5.0) | 57.3 (3.9) |
