Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between muscle fiber types, satellite cells, and performance metrics in young male soccer players across three age groups: 11.2, 13.1, and 15.2 years old.
- - Notably, older players (Group C) showed a 21.3% decrease in type I muscle fibers and an 18.1% increase in type IIA fibers compared to younger groups, indicating that training influences muscle composition.
- - Results reveal that age and training impact muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness, highlighting the significant role of tailored exercise programs in developing young athletes’ muscular and metabolic profiles.
The aim of this study was to examine and to compare alterations in the secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) during different exercise-testing protocols in moderately trained men. Fifteen healthy male physical education students were studied (mean age 22·3 ± 2·5 years, training experience 12·3 ± 2·5 years, height 1·80 ± 0·06 m, weight 77·4 ± 8·2 kg). Participants performed an initial graded maximal exercise testing on a treadmill for the determination of VO(2max) (duration 7·45-9·3 min and VO(2max) 55·05 ± 3·13 ml kg(-1) min(-1) ) and were examined with active recovery (AR), passive recovery (PR) and continuous running (CR) in random order.
