Abstract

Soccer involves sprinting, jumping, running, and tackling as anaerobic components. It is significant to players to be able to perform high-intensity intermittent exercise and sprint repeatedly with short recovery either with or without ball. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine the relationships between the repeated sprints ability (RSA) or repeated dribbling ability (RDA) with aerobic power and blood lactate of Malaysian University soccer players. A total of 52 soccer players participated (age 21.73 ± 1.82 years, height 171.31 ± 5.27 cm, weight 63.78 ± 7.30 kg, BMI 21.69 ± 2.29 kg m−1) and performed all four tests: VO2max, RSA, RDA, and peak blood lactate. The VO2max was measured by 20-m multistage shuttle run (MST). The RSA and RDA performance indices were total time (TT), fastest time (FT), mean time (MT), and performance decrement (PD). The RSA and RDA tests involved sprinting or dribbling 7 × 34.2 m with 25 s rest intervals. Significant difference was found in peak blood lactate from baseline to posttest for RSA and RDA (p < 0.05). RSA showed low negative correlation of TT (r = −0.28, p < 0.05) and RDA, a negative moderate correlation (r = −0.303, p < 0.05) with VO2max. Significant negative correlation was found between MT and VO2max (r = −0.280, p < 0.05). Negative significant correlation between FT and VO2max (r = −0.311, p < 0.05) was found in RDA protocol. The VO2max was correlated in RSA (TT, MT) and RDA (TT, FT) protocols. The 25 s rest intervals between sprinting and dribbling can extent the resynthesis of phosphocreatine (PCr) and maintain performance.
