Brief Summary

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. 1.To quantify the decrease of isometric force immediately after a simulate soccer game.
2. 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. 3.To compare the level neuromuscular fatigue induced by anaerobic and aerobic training.
4. 4.To highlight correlation between neuromuscular fatigue and performance markers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Difference in maximal isometric hamstring strength before and immediately after exercise (i.e., pre vs. immediate post exercise) expressed as a percentage (%).

  Before and immediately post exercise (i.e., during the first minute after cessation of exercise)

Secondary Outcomes (11)

• Relative difference (in %) in maximum isometric hamstring strength before and after exercise (i.e., pre- vs. post-exercise), relative to pre-exercise strength across different test types.

  Before and immediately post exercise, 5, 10, 15, 30-minutes and 24 and 48-hours post-exercise

• Relative difference (in %) in maximal isometric quadriceps strength before and after exercise (i.e., pre vs. post exercise), related to preexercise strength according to the different types of tests.

  Before and immediately post exercise, 5, 10, 15, 30-minutes and 24 and 48-hours post-exercise

• Relative difference (%) in maximum isometric hamstring and quadriceps strength for each test type at the different times of interest.

  Before and immediately post exercise, 5, 10, 15, 30-minutes and 24 and 48-hours post-exercise

• Difference in pre- and post-exercise (i.e., pre- vs. post-exercise) hamstring potentiated jerk amplitude (N) relative to pre-exercise amplitude by event type at different times of interest.

  Before and immediately post exercise, 5, 10, 15, 30-minutes and 24 and 48-hours post-exercise

• Difference in pre- and post-exercise (i.e., pre- vs. post-exercise) potentiated jerk amplitude (N) of the quadriceps, relative to pre-exercise amplitude, by test type at different times of interest.

  Before and immediately post exercise, 5, 10, 15, 30-minutes and 24 and 48-hours post-exercise

Study Arms (1)

Physical exercices arm

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Other: Physical exercices

Interventions

Physical exercices OTHER

surface EMG: surface electrodes will be positioned on the muscles to evaluate the level of muscle activation non invasive muscular neurostimulations : application of a percutaneous electrical stimulation of the motor nerve of the considered muscle and a direct electrical stimulation of the muscle

Also known as: Non invasive muscular neurostimulations, Surface EMG
