Seventeenprofessional and sixteen young elite soccer players of two different teams performed, beforeand after 2-weeks of detraining, the RSA test and the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test,level 1 (YYIR1). Before detraining, professional players perform better (p < 0.05) RSA besttime (RSAbest) than young players. A decrease (p < 0.05) in RSAbest, RSA total time(RSAtotal) and mean time (RSAmean) performance was observed in both teams, withoutchanges in RSA fatigue index (Sdec). No significant changes in distance covered duringYYIR1 was observed in any team. Before detraining, faster players from both teams (FG)(following the median split technique, soccer players with RSAbest 3.95 s) performed bet-ter (p < 0.01) in RSAtotal, RSAmean and RSAbest, but worse (p < 0.01) in Sdec. Although FGand the slower players (SG, RSAbest > 3.95 s) showed a worse (p < 0.05) RSAtotal, RSAbestand RSAmean performance after detraining (ES = 1.5, 1.4 and 2.9; ES = 0.6, 1.2 and 0.6; forFG and SG, respectively), the deterioration was greater in the FG for RSAbest (p < 0.05) andRSAtotal (ES = 1.46). After detraining, FG improved (p < 0.05) Sdec performance. In conclu-sion, a 2-week in-season break (detraining) period induced a worse RSA, with no effect onintermittent endurance in professional and elite young soccer players, with greater detrimen-tal effects on RSAtotal and RSAbest in FG. In addition, Sdec does not seem to be sensitive tochanges in RSA after a 2-week in-season break.
