RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Two types of detraining can be described: short-term detraining with a period of less than 4 weeks, and long-term detraining (period longer than 4 weeks). The purpose of this study is to verify the presence and eventually the magnitude of physiological cardiorespiratory changes in young team sport players after a period of long-term detraining. METHODS: Fourteen young soccer players (15 ± 1 year) were studied with two incremental tests at the end of the regular season and after a six-week total break period from training activities. Physiological variables were evaluated: heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO2), volume of ventilation (VE), aerobic (VA) and anaerobic (Van) running speed at thresholds and maximum effort were recorded. RESULTS: This study shows the magnitude of the physiological changes in young players after a period of long-term detraining. The results showed significant decreases at the end of the detraining period of VO2 at VA of 22.7% (44.54 ± 4.56 vs. 34.41 ± 4.57 mL/kg/min, P<0.05), of 25.8% of VO2 at VAn (54.60 ± 5.81 vs. 40.48 ± 5.07 mL/kg/min, P<0.05) and of 21.2% in VO2 max (62.83 ± 5.77 vs. 49.46 ± 6.51 mL/kg/min, P<0.05). Speed at VA (11.5 ± 0.96 vs. 10.7 ± 0.97 km/h; P<0.05), speed at VAn (15.3 ± 1.05 vs. 14.2 ± 1.48 km/h; P<0.05), peak running speed (18.8 ± 1.20 vs. 17.2 ± 1.1 km/h; P<0.05). CONCLUSION: It is likely that alteration of metabolic parameters may significantly affect the range of physical condition and especially, aerobic-anaerobic resistance and maintenance training would be advisable in young athletes during the transition period. Given the relevance of worsening demonstrated by our data, coaches should avoid very long periods of complete rest (no more than 15 days) at the end of the season.

AIM: In water polo, throwing is one of the most important and frequently used technical skills for the player. There is no scientific literature that provides information about differences in throwing between elite and sub-elite water polo players. The aim of our study was to study differences in throwing velocities and kinematic variables in elite and sub-elite level male water polo players. METHODS: We considered the variables under standardized conditions during a typical motion, the five-meter shot (penalty). Thirty-four athletes from the Men's First Division Water Polo Championship and forty-two players participating in the National Fourth Division League, took part in the study. Video analysis measures were taken with high-speed digital cameras and the videos were analyzed offline with Dartfish 5.0 Pro. RESULTS: No correlation was found between body mass, height and throwing velocity. Elite players had higher values âfor ball speed (22.8±2.4 m/s for elite team and 18.4±1.7 m/s for sub-elite team; P=0.002) and greater elbow angle (157.5±10.3 degree for elite team versus 146.7±8.9 degree for sub-elite team; P=0.002). In elite team the throwing time was lower (165.6±22.2 and 188.6±23.9 ms, respectively; P=0.05) and the shoulder angle was smaller (115.1±10.3 and 123.8±12.4 degree, respectively; P=0.03) than in sub-elite team. Head height was significantly greater in elite players (elite players 71.1±8.7 cm, sub-elite players 65.6±6.2 cm; P=0.03). CONCLUSION: Differences in kinematic characteristics between elite and sub-elite players were showed. Differences in elbow and shoulder action must be considered both in training and injury prevention.

Avaliaram-se o efeito da suplementação de selênio, na dieta ofertada aos animais, sobre a concentração do mineral no sangue e no leite e as alterações nas características físico-químicas, contagem de células somáticas (CCS) e produção de leite. O experimento durou 63 dias, dos quais os primeiros 21 foram pré-experimental. Foram utilizadas 32 vacas em lactação da raça Jersey, as quais apresentavam, ao início, peso corporal de 402,5+58,4kg, escore de condição corporal de 3,19+0,31, produção de leite de 10,4+2,1kg e número de dias em lactação de 141,4+69,3. Os tratamentos foram: sem suplementação (grupo-controle); com suplementação de selênio inorgânico 0,3 (dieta-padrão + 0,3mg selenito de sódio/kg de concentrado - SI0,3); com suplementação com selênio orgânico 0,3 (dieta-padrão + 0,3mg seleniometionina/kg de concentrado - SO0,3) e com suplementação de selênio orgânico 0,6 (dieta-padrão + 0,6mg seleniometionina/kg de concentrado - SO0,6). As quantidades totais de selênio das dietas foram, respectivamente, 2,38; 4,18; 4,18 e 5,98mg/dia para os tratamentos controle, SI0,3, SO0,3 e SO0,6. O delineamento experimental foi o completamente ao acaso. O número de dias em lactação e os valores obtidos no início do experimento foram usados como covariáveis. Foram realizadas avaliações da produção de leite, do peso, da condição corporal, da composição do leite e do sangue nos dias 0, 14, 28 e 42 do período experimental. Entre os tratamentos, não foram detectadas alterações quanto à produção de leite, peso, condição corporal, características físico-químicas e microbiológicas do leite, e perfil bioquímico do sangue, exceto em relação à concentração de selênio no sangue entre o tratamento-controle e os tratamentos suplementados. Não houve diferenças quanto aos teores de selênio no sangue entre as fontes de selênio e as doses. Os teores de selênio no sangue evoluíram distintamente durante o experimento conforme a dose e a fonte. A suplementação com selênio ...
The effects of the dietary supplementation with selenium were evaluated on the concentration of the mineral in blood and milk, as well as changes in milk yield, physical and chemical characteristics, and somatic cells count (SCC). The trial lasted 63 days, the first 21 were designed to adaptation of animals to experimental conditions and standard diet. Thirty-two lactating Jersey cows were used and, at the beginning of the trial, they presented body weight of 402.5+58.4kg, body condition score of 3.19+0.31, milk yield of 10.4+2.1kg/day, and 141.4+69.3 days in milking. Treatments were: control (standard diet without added selenium), inorganic selenium (standard diet + 0.3mg sodium selenite/kg concentrate - SI0.3), organic selenium 0.3 (standard diet + 0.3mg selenomethionine/kg concentrate - SO0.3), and organic selenium 0.6 (standard diet + 0.6mg selenomethionine/kg concentrate - SO0.6). Total daily amounts of selenium were 2.38, 4.18, 4.18, and 5.98mg/cow, respectively, for control, SI0.3, SO0.3, and SO0.6 treatments. The trial was conducted as a completely randomized design. The number of days in milking and the values for all attributes measured at the end of the adaptation period were used as covariates. Measurements of body weight and condition score, milk yield and composition, and blood composition were performed on days 0, 14, 28, and 42 of the experimental period. No differences were detected among treatments for milk yield and composition, body weight and condition score, physical-chemical characteristics of milk, somatic cells count, and biochemical profile of the blood, except for Se contents of blood of control compared to supplemented. There were no differences caused by selenium sources or levels. Selenium supplementation did not alter neither milk nor blood components.
