Abstract

Aim: Soccer due to its own functional characteristics rely more on some physiological factors than other sports. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of resistance training with emphasis on eccentric phase with and without blood flow restriction and traditional resistance training on blood cortisol, endurance performance and anaerobic power in male soccer players.
Method: Forty soccer players were selected and randomly divided into four groups include traditional strength training (n=10), eccentric resistance training with blood flow restriction (n=10), eccentric resistance training without blood flow restriction (n=10) and control (n=10). Blood sampling and tests were taken before and after the eight-week training period. A one-way repeated-measures and Bonferroni post-hoc test was used to compare the groups (P<0.05).
Results: The results showed that the minimum, maximum, mean power and endurance performance in all three experimental groups had a significant increase after exercise (P<0.001). There was also a significant difference between the two groups experimental of resistance training eccentric with and without blood flow restriction at minimum power (p<0.05). There was a significant difference between resistance training eccentric with blood flow restriction and the traditional resistance training group at maximum and mean power. However, this effect was not significant for fatigue index (p=0.13) and cortisol hormone (p=0.33).
Conclusion: Although the results related to the percentage of changes indicated an improvement in the anaerobic power and endurance function in the traditional exercise group compared to the other two training groups, traditional exercises could still be used.
