It's well known that intermittent running can bring great improvements in oxygen consumption, a similar physiological load deriving from intermittent run could be obtained by using ball during the football training, and in this way increase value of aerobic fitness. The present study aims to compare internal load (heart rate), between Helgerud method without the ball and the Helgerud 4vs4 method carried out with ball, to understand if is possible to achieve improvements in aerobics fitness using exercise with ball in female soccer. The sample consisted of 11 female soccer players with an average age of 24.7 ± 4.22, Heart Rate Max (HRmax) 191.9 ± 4.87 and BMI 21 ± 2.63. Helgerud method was performed at 90-95% of HRmax lasting 4 minutes, repeated 4 times, with active intervals recovery at 70/75% of HRmax lasting 3 minutes, both with and without a ball. The evaluation was carried out through a test for aerobic endurance (YYRI1) in August (pre-test) and December (post-test). The 4vs4 continuous game (45x50m) confirmed the same internal load as Helgerud without a ball. Moreover, the only use of ball in physical sessions during the first competitive period (September-December) has led to a significant improvement of the VO2max.

Abstract
It's well known that intermittent running can bring great improvements in oxygen consumption, a similar physiological load deriving from intermittent run could be obtained by using ball during the football training, and in this way increase value of aerobic fitness. The present study aims to compare internal load (heart rate), between Helgerud method without the ball and the Helgerud 4vs4 method carried out with ball, to understand if is possible to achieve improvements in aerobics fitness using exercise with ball in female soccer. The sample consisted of 11 female soccer players with an average age of 24.7 ± 4.22, Heart Rate Max (HRmax) 191.9 ± 4.87 and BMI 21 ± 2.63. Helgerud method was performed at 90-95% of HRmax lasting 4 minutes, repeated 4 times, with active intervals recovery at 70/75% of HRmax lasting 3 minutes, both with and without a ball. The evaluation was carried out through a test for aerobic endurance (YYRI1) in August (pre-test) and December (post-test). The 4vs4 continuous game (45x50m) confirmed the same internal load as Helgerud without a ball. Moreover, the only use of ball in physical sessions during the first competitive period (September-December) has led to a significant improvement of the VO2max.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
