About

This is a monocentric study comparing hamstring and quadriceps neuromuscular fatigue after simulated soccer game, anaerobic and aerobic training sessions. The purpose of this study was:

1. To quantify the decrease of isometric force immediately after a simulate soccer game.
2. To characterize peripheral and central fatigue between hamstring and quadriceps muscles and described the kinetics of recovery after specific tasks of soccer training.
3. To compare the level neuromuscular fatigue induced by anaerobic and aerobic training.
4. To highlight correlation between neuromuscular fatigue and performance markers.

Description:

three randomizations will be used to determine the order of the tests that will be proposed to the subjects: on the one hand for the exercise modalities (match, anaerobic, aerobic) and, on the other hand, for the exercise modalities included in the anaerobic and aerobic exercise families: Anaerobic agility / anaerobic - linear sprints Aerobic - shuttle / aerobic - linear
