Aim The current study had two aims. primary purpose was to examine the association between serum vitamin D levels and ergometric evaluation of muscle strength, aerobic capacity, speed in professional soccer players. secondary aim evaluate effects off-season period on levels. Methods Sixty-seven Caucasian male players (age 25.6±6.2 height 1.81±0.08 m), members Greek Superleague Soccer teams one Football-league championship team participated this study. Exercise performance testing for...
Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the effects a six-week off-season detraining period on exercise performance, body composition, and circulating sex steroid levels in soccer players. Methods Fifty-five professional male players, members two Greek Superleague Teams (Team A, n = 23; Team B, 22), participated study. first weeks players abstained from any physical activity. following four weeks, performed low-intensity (50%–60% VO2max) aerobic running 20 30 minutes duration three...
To examine whether a high volume of soccer-specific training can lead to endothelial activation and/or dysfunction in professional soccer players due exercise-induced oxidative stress.Twenty-three (15 nonsmokers and eight smokers) healthy, elite male (mean age: 25.2±4.3 years, BMI: 23.1±1.3 kg/m(2), fat: 7.8%±2.6%) were selected for this study. All participants had full clinical laboratory evaluation. von Willebrand factor antigen (vWf Ag) plasma levels measured on two different occasions: 1...
BACKGROUND In soccer, morphological characteristics of young players are particularly important as they have a significant impact on the performance many technical-tactical elements. Our aim in this study was to investigate whether soccer specific training its own or combined with strength can influence characteristics, and if so, establish which age is more appropriate for interventions through individualized training. METHODS The sample consisted 61 male players, members two under 17 (U17...
Summary The exocyst complex subunit protein Exo70B1 plays a crucial role in variety of cell mechanisms including immune responses against pathogens. calcium dependent kinase 5 (CPK5) Arapidopsis thaliana , phosphorylates At upon functional disruption. We previously reported that, the Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestis effector XopP, compromises and bypasses host’s hypersensitive response (HR), way that is still unclear. Herein we designed an experimental approach based on biophysical,...
