Brief Summary

This study aims at investigating the energy expenditure following a single Football trainning session in middle aged males. The participants will perform a soccer training session \[A single training session including 60 minutes of warm up, soccer technical exercises and small-sided game\] and a cotrol trial (No intervention included, only daily measurements) in randomized, repeated measures, crossover design.

Conditions

Energy Expenditure; Body Composition; Resting Metabolic Rate; Overweight and Obesity

Keywords

Football training; Energy Expenditure; Oxygen consumption; Blood lactate; Metabolic Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Change in exercise-induced energy expenditure

  Exercise energy expenditure (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system

  At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)

• Change in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)

  EPOC (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system

  At post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)

• Change in blood lactate concentration (BLa)

  BLa (mmol/L) concentration will be measured in a microphotometer with commercially available kits.

  At pre- and post-exercise session (single bout) at 3 minutes post-exercise

• Change in heart rate

  Heart rate (bpm) will be measured with a wearable heart rate monitor

  At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)

• Change in perceived exertion

  Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) will be measured with the Borg scale (0-10)

  At pre-exercise and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)

• Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)

  Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system

  At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)

• Breath Frequency (BF)

  Breath Frequency (BF) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system

  At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)

Study Arms (2)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this arm will receive no intervention

Recreational Football Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will participate in a football training session for 60 minutes. During the training the participans will execute the warm-up process, the part of soccer technical exercises and they will play a small-side-game.
