ABSTRACT

Background: The practice of football contributes to the training of the intelligent player who masters the football of zone by means of a well thought out planning and a good coaching. Methods: In order to evaluate the combined effects of numerical restriction and somatotype on cardiovascular adjustments to training among Congolese junior footballers, 10 Congolese players including 5 meso-ectomorphs and 5 meso-endomorphs were subjected to heart rate of rest (FCo) using a cardiofréquencemètre, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (PAS, PAD) using a sphygmomanometer from which the MAP and the YoYo evaluation test of the maximum aerobic speed (VMA) and maximum oxygen consumption (O2max) before and after an integrated 24-month training program. Averages were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The results obtained at the end of this program showed significantly lower values for the meso-ectomorphic junior players than those recorded at the end of the training for the meso-endomorphic FCo junior footballers (64.20 ± 0.83bpm vs. 69.50 ± 0.70 bpm, p <0.001), PAS (122.20 ± 0.83mmHg Vs 128.99 ± 0.60mmHg, p <0.001) and MAP (90.16) ± 1.59mmHg Vs 92.93 ± 1.49 mmHg and 92.68 ± 0.94 mmHg, p <0.01). However, VMA and O2max after ecto-mesomorphic training were significantly greater compared to those of meso-endomorphs (19.93 ± 1.83 km.h^-1 Vs 15.74 ± 1.88 km.h^-1). 1 and 70.66 ± 0.00 ml.kg^-1.mn^-1 Vs 53.61 ± 3.09 ml.kg^-1.mn-1, p <0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest cardiovascular adjustments to reduced-strength football training as a function of somatotype.
