BACKGROUND: Data regarding the effect of training on plasma lipids are controversial. Most studies have addressed continuous or long intermittent training programs. The present study evaluated the effect of short-short @entity2101 ( @entity2101 ) on aerobic capacity and plasma lipids in soccer players. METHODS: The study included 24 male subjects aged 21-26 years, divided into three groups: experimental group 1 ( @entity23464 , n=8) comprising soccer players who exercised in addition to regular @entity851 twice a week for 12 weeks; experimental group 2 (EG2, n=8) comprising soccer players who exercised in a regular football training program; and a control group (CG, n=8) comprising untrained subjects who did not practice regular physical activity. Maximal aerobic velocity and maximal @entity26 uptake along with plasma lipids were measured before and after 6 weeks and 12 weeks of the respective training program. RESULTS: Compared with basal values, maximal @entity26 uptake had significantly increased in @entity23464 (from 53.3  4.0 mL/min/kg to 54.8  3.0 mL/min/kg at 6 weeks [P<0.05] and to 57.0  3.2 mL/min/kg at 12 weeks [P<0.001]). Maximal @entity26 uptake was increased only after 12 weeks in EG2 (from 52.8  2.7 mL/min/kg to 54.2  2.6 mL/min/kg, [P<0.05]), but remain unchanged in CG. After 12 weeks of training, maximal @entity26 uptake was significantly higher in @entity23464 than in EG2 (P<0.05). During training, no significant changes in plasma lipids occurred. However, after 12 weeks, total and low-density lipoprotein @entity165 levels had decreased (by about 2%) in @entity23464 but increased in CG. High-density lipoprotein @entity165 levels increased in @entity23464 and EG2, but decreased in CG. Plasma @entity1674 decreased by 8% in @entity23464 and increased by about 4% in CG. CONCLUSION: Twelve weeks of @entity851 improves aerobic capacity. Although changes in the lipid profile were not significant after this training program, they may have a beneficial impact on health.
