Key result
Different training practices in football, including speed, coordination, and match formation, significantly and differently affected heart rate and heart rate variability (RMSSD) across time.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to determine the time-domain heart rate variability and heart rate of young football players across different training sessions.
Do different training sessions (speed, coordination, match formation) acutely affect heart rate and heart rate variability in young football players?
Do different training sessions (speed, coordination, match formation) acutely affect heart rate and heart rate variability in young football players?
Different types of football training elicit distinct acute autonomic responses in young players, with parasympathetic markers (RMSSD, SDNN) decreasing during main workouts and increasing during recovery.
May guide session-specific recovery monitoring in youth football; leaves open performance or injury links.
Objective: To determine the time-domain (SDNN, RMSSD) of heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) of young football players in different training sessions. Method: 15 football players voluntarily participated (mean age = 15.5 ± 0.5 years, height= 171.1 ± 7.9 cm, weight= 62.4 ± 8.9 kg, BMI= 21.2 ± 1.9 kg/m2). They performed three different training: speed, coordination, and match formation. The HRV and HR of the participants were measured during warm-up, main training, and cool-down in each of the three different training sessions. Results: There was a significant interaction between time and intervention on RMSSD (Frmat= 2.983) and HR (Frmat t= 4.894). The results show that HR and HRV are affected differently by diverse training practices in football.

Arabacı et al. (2020) studied Healthy young football players (n=15). Different training sessions (speed, coordination, and match formation) vs. Within-subject comparison across training types was evaluated on Time-domain (SDNN, RMSSD) of heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR). Different training practices in football, including speed, coordination, and match formation, significantly and differently affected heart rate and heart rate variability (RMSSD) across time.
