The purpose of this study was to examine changes in body composition
(BC) and physical performance tests (PT) resulting from a
competitive season in soccer. Twenty-five male collegiate players
(age = 19.9 +/- 1.3 years; height = 177.6 +/- 6.4 cm; body mass =
77.6 +/- 8.6 kg, and percentage body fat = 12.8 +/- 5.2%) were
tested before (PRE) and after (POST) the 2003-2004 National
Collegiate Athletic Association season. The following tests were
performed: BC (anthropometric and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry
measurements), vertical jump (VJ), 9.1-m (9 m) and 36.5-m (36 m)
sprint, lower-body power (LP), total body power (TP), and
cardiorespiratory endurance (VO(2)max). Training was divided into
soccer-specific training: field warm-up drills, practices, games,
and additional conditioning sessions. A daily, unplanned, nonlinear
periodization model was used to assign session volume and intensity
for strength sessions (total repetitions < or =96 and workload was >
or =80% of 1 repetition maximum). For the entire team, body mass
significantly increased by 1.5 +/- 0.4 kg from PRE to POST due to a
significant increase in total lean tissue (0.9 +/- 0.2 kg).
Regionally, lean tissue mass significantly increased in the legs
(0.4 +/- 0.0 kg) and trunk (0.3 +/- 0.1 kg). Physical performance
variables were very similar for the entire team at PRE and POST; VJ
(cm) = 61.9 +/- 7.1 PRE vs. 63.3 +/- 8.0 POST, 9.1-m (s) = 1.7 +/-
0.1 PRE and POST, 36.5-m (s) = 5.0 +/- 0.2 PRE and POST, predicted
VO(2)max (ml.kg.min(-1))= 59.8 +/- 3.3 PRE vs. 60.9 +/- 3.4 POST.
The only significant improvements across the season were for TP
(17.3%) and for LP (10.7%). In conclusion, soccer athletes who begin
a season with a high level of fitness can maintain, and in some
cases improve, body composition and physical performance from before
to after a competitive season. A correct combination of
soccer-specific practices and strength and conditioning programs can
maintain and develop physical performance, allowing a soccer athlete
to perform optimally throughout pre-, in-, and postseason play.
