RESUMO

The purpose of this work was to study identification methods of physiological transition thresholds from intermittent progressive protocols with pause. In addition, compare the values of speed, heart rate (HR) and blood lactate concentration ([La]) between different methods used. The participants were 10 male football players, with mean age of 19,99 1,75 years. Firstly, the athletes were submitted to an anthropometric evaluation (weight, height, skin folds) followed by an intermittent progressive protocol with pause (IPP) performed in outdoors, to identify the heart rate deflection point (HRDP), second lactate threshold (LT2) and 3,5mmol.l1 fixed concentration threshold (LT3,5). The IPP started at a velocity of 9km/h with increments of 1,2km/h at each stage. The stages were composed by 10 shuttle-runs, starting at 15m and increasing 2m at each stage. Each shuttle run had an interval of 6 seconds and the stages, which were collected blood samples, had a 45-second break. This protocol was a modification proposed by Carminatti et al (2004). The HR was monitored during all the tests by a Polar frequency meter (S610i), and registered at the end of each stage. At this moment, it was collected a blood sample (25ml) from the ear to analyze the [La] in a Yellow Springs analyzer (model 1500). In a second moment, the participants performed a high intensity exercise to induce lactic acidosis (BAKER et al, 1993) and after an 8-minute break, the subjects performed an IPP as described above. Again, the values of HR and [La] were measured at the end of the stage. By this test it was identified a lactate minimum threshold (LM) (TEGTBUR et al., 1993). The data were statistically analyzed using analyses of variance followed by Scheffé test and Pearson correlation, accepting statistical significance at p<0,05. The results show a strongly evidence in the possibility of identification of physiological transition threshold in IPP, based on HRPD, LT2, LT3,5 and LM methods. Moreover, no significant difference between speed and HR were found in the different methods used. In a another way, the [La] in the HRDP (4,4 1,4mmol.l-1) had significantly increased when compared to the [La] in the LT2 (2,6 0,3mmol.l-1), however did not increased when compared in the LT3,5 and LM (3,5 1,5mmol.l-1). From Pearsons test some significant correlations could be found for HR between LT3,5 and HRDP (r= 0,72), LT3,5 and LT2 (r= 0,91), LM and LT2 (r= 0,82) and between LM and LT3,5 (r= 0,92). Some significant correlations could also be found for speed between LT2 and HRDP (r= 0,69), LT3,5 and HRDP (r= 0,92), LT3,5 and LT2 (r= 0,72). However, there was no significant correlation for [La] in any of the methods used. Through the results of this study, it can be concluded that its possible to identify the physiological transition threshold in intermittent progressive protocol with pause and, apparently, all the methods are adjusted. However, theres a necessity to confirm the maximum steady state of lactate in the different speeds correspondent to each one of these methods.
