abstract="PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the impact of the practice of football (soccer) and judo on lung function and aerobic performance of prepubertal boys. <br><br>METHODS: A total of ninety six prepubertal boys were studied. They assessed a measure of body composition using the skin folds method. They performed lung plethysmography at rest, followed by an incremental exercise test. <br><br>RESULTS: There was no significant difference in baseline spirometry between all groups (P>0.05). The maximal oxygen uptake [VO2max] and the VO2 at the ventilatory threshold [VT] were similar between all groups (P>0.05). The maximal minute ventilation [VEmax] of judokas was significantly higher than footballers (P<0.01) and similar at the [VT]. The Heart rate [HR] at [VT] of footballers and judokas was similar and significantly higher than control group (P<0.01). VO2max was significantly related to LM and negatively associated with FM. At the [VT] there was a significant relationship between P[VT] and LM and mainly with VE to VO2 [VT], P[VT] and HR[VT] in all groups. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Training in football and judo does not affect lung volumes and capacities, VO2max and VO2 at the [VT].<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
