Talent identification and specialization in sport: an overview of some unanswered questions.

abstract：PURPOSE:The purpose of this investigation was to quantify maximal aerobic power (VO2max) in soccer as a function of performance level, position, age, and time of season. In addition, the authors examined the evolution of VO2max among professional players over a 23-y period. METHODS:1545 male soccer players (22 ± 4 y, ...
