Figure 1.
Changes in aerobic and jumping capacity mean values after the detraining period in Team A.
Changes (mean values ±SD) in VO2max (ml/kg/min), SJ (cm), and CMJ (cm) during the course of the 6 week detraining - off-season soccer period for Team A players. Pre: measurement prior to the beginning of the detraining period; Post: measurement at the end of the detraining period; SJ: squat Jump; CMJ: countermovement Jump. **Different from Pre (p<0.001).

Changes (mean values ±SD) in VO2max (ml/kg/min), SJ (cm), and CMJ (cm) during the course of the 6 week detraining - off-season soccer period for Team B players. Pre: measurement prior to the beginning of the detraining period; Post: measurement at the end of the detraining period; SJ: squat Jump; CMJ: countermovement Jump. ** Different from Pre (p<0.001).

Changes (mean values ±SD) in 10 meters (Sprint10) and 20 meters (Sprint20) sprint performance (sec) during the course of the 6 week detraining - off-season soccer period for Team A players. Pre: measurement prior to the beginning of the detraining period; Post: measurement at the end of the detraining period. ** Different from Pre (p<0.001).
