Monitoring aerobic capacity in youth soccer players reveals limited impact of training load on development.

Training did not significantly influence aerobic capacity in 7–12-year-olds, with peaks correlating more with individual factors.
VO2max showed weak correlation with training intensity apart from a notable relationship at ages 7 to 8.
Incremental treadmill tests assessed maximum oxygen uptake and anaerobic thresholds over three years in youth soccer players.
Findings suggest individual developmental paths significantly shape aerobic capacity improvements during these crucial training years.

Bejm et al. (2025) studied this question.
