METABOLOMICS RESPONSE OF YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS: A METABOLOMICS APPROACH
Metabolomics, Sports training, Soccer, Training load
Observing the metabolic impacts arising from a football match is of great
interest to the scientific community. Such changes are due to the movements made
during the game, in which they can occur in different magnitudes. This magnitude can
be observed, through an evaluation of the metabolites present in the urine, by the
metabolomics, as well as through perceptual responses such as the rating of perceived
exertion (RPE). Thus, aiming to contribute to the use of these methods in sports, this
study presents a review chapter, addressing the general overview of metabolomics and
its application in exercise, in addition to the use of RPE to observe perceptual responses
after physical exercise. Besides, the present dissertation also presents an experimental
article using the metabolomics technique combined with RPE, in which has the aim is to
evaluate the metabolic impact of two football matches through metabolomics and RPE
tools in young athletes of a first division soccer team of the Brazilian championship.
