Key result
Soccer training from pre-season to the competitive season significantly increased running velocity at a blood lactate concentration of 4 mmol/L from 13.62 to 14.67 km/h (p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does a season of professional soccer training improve lactate threshold responses in youth soccer players?
Observational (n=9)
Does a season of professional soccer training improve lactate threshold responses in youth soccer players?
Absolute Event Rate: 14.67% vs 13.62%
p-value: p=<0.001
Professional youth soccer training improves running velocity at lactate thresholds during the pre-season, though these remain unchanged relative to maximum heart frequency.

Supports training benefits on lactate threshold velocity in youth soccer; leaves open performance translation and causality.
McMillan et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Aerobic endurance performance in youth soccer players (n=9). Soccer season training vs. Baseline (start of pre-season) was evaluated on Running velocity at a blood lactate concentration of 4 mmol l-1 (v-4mM) in km/h (p=<0.001). Soccer training from pre-season to the competitive season significantly increased running velocity at a blood lactate concentration of 4 mmol/L from 13.62 to 14.67 km/h (p<0.001).
