Evaluation of Blood Lactate among Different Player Roles: A Pilot Study on Competitive Young Male Soccer Players.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSoccer match requires anaerobic and aerobic energetic metabolism. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the changes in blood lactate concentration in young male soccer players in different playing roles at different time points after the soccer match.
methodsFollowing an initial screening of 134 young soccer athletes, 8 male athletes (average age of 15.5 ± 5 SD) were chosen for their characteristics similar to those of competitive athletes. Players were categorized as goalkeeper, central defender, central midfielder, and forward. Blood lactate concentrations were determined using a portable device at different times (10 min, 5 and 16 h) after the soccer match by a maximum effort test on a treadmill. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni's post-hoc test.
resultsThe following results (mean ± SD) were obtained: VO
conclusionThese results suggest that aerobic mechanisms can also use LA as an energy source, contributing to the reduction of its blood concentration. This effect can be due to reduced maximal work during a soccer match and to the LA removal during exercise at reduced intensity. These data can provide indications for planning suitable training strategies for young male soccer players.
