Abstract

Abstract Background Online physical training programs emerged as an innovative approach to avoid the detraining-induced physical fitness impairments during the COVID-19 quarantine period in athletes. However, there is conflicting evidence on the effectiveness of such training programs in soccer players. Aim This study aimed to verify the effects of a 15-week online training intervention during a pandemic quarantine in body composition and physical capacity of highly trained soccer players. Methods Sixteen male under-20 soccer players were assessed after the first period of COVID-19 quarantine (March 2020 to September 2020; 170 days), and after the second period of COVID-19 quarantine (November 2020 to February 2021, 107 days). Body composition, vertical jump height, hamstring maximum strength and aerobic capacity were assessed. The online training program was performed during the second lockdown. Results In comparison with first pre assessments, results showed that fat mass (-0.95 ± 1.27), free fat mass (1.22 ± 1.19), squat jump height (5.36 ± 1.99) and counter movement jump (3.19 ± 3.77) were significantly improved (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant changes in total body mass, hamstring eccentric strength, and Yo-Yo IR1 after online training (p > 0.05). Conclusion In summary, the findings of this study highlight the importance of carrying out an online training program during a period of absence from traditional soccer training, in order to maintain the level of physical capacities of youth soccer players.
