Individual anaerobic threshold prediction through 1 km and 3 km running performance in young soccer players : original research

Background : Individual anaerobic threshold (IAT) is a valid method to evaluate aerobic capacity. However, IAT determination requires blood analysis and thus is less accessible for coaches and athletes. Type of study : Predictive validation. Purpose : To verify the validity of IAT prediction through 1 km and 3 km running performance in male youth soccer players. Methods : Participants (n=20; 15.4 ± 1.2 years; 170.1 ± 1.5 cm; 58.9 ± 5.8 kg) were...
