“…The recent experimental parallel study revealed that incorporating recreational soccer training in sedentary overweight young adults, both male and female, resulted in a notable enhancement in body composition. These outcomes find congruence with antecedent investigations focusing on sedentary overweight cohorts, such as those conducted by Cvetkovic et al [ 14 ], Soares et al [ 39 ] or Seabra et al [ 40 ]. These studies consistently reported a decrease in body mass index and body fat percentage following participation in recreational soccer, underscoring the effectiveness of recreational soccer in addressing weight-related concerns.…”

“…The study's sample size was determined utilizing G*Power 3.1 software (Düsseldorf, Germany), specifically selecting the ANOVA: Repeated measures, Within-between interaction option. Power, α, and effect size were set at 0.8, 0.25, and derived from previous studies [ 38 , 39 ]. Results revealed that the overall effect size of Matrix Factorization on the competitive ability of football players predominantly falls within the range of 0.50–2.37, with an average effect size of 0.84.…”

“…The age range across the studies varies, from 8 (Hansen et al [ 41 ]) to 61 (Moller et al [ 11 ]) years old, with the majority focusing on children and adolescents (Cvetkovic et al [ 25 ]; Hansen et al [ 41 ]; Seabra et al [ 42 ]; Soares et al [ 43 ]; Vasconcellos et al [ 44 ]; Vasconcellos et al [ 45 ]).…”

“…The number of participants ranges from 13 (Vasconcellos et al [ 45 ]) to 88 (Seabra et al [ 42 ]), with team sports like soccer and handball being common choices. The sex distribution is diverse, with some studies including both males and females (Hansen et al [ 41 ]; Soares et al [ 46 ]; Soares et al [ 43 ]; Vasconcellos et al [ 44 ]; Vasconcellos et al [ 45 ]). The duration of interventions ranges from 12 to 24 weeks, with 12 weeks being the most common.…”

This systematic review aims to provide a summary of the results from individual studies that specifically focused on overweight or obese populations, regardless of age or sex. The goal is to determine the effects of structured recreational team sports interventions (TSG) on metabolic health, body composition and physical fitness parameters when compared to passive or active control groups. This study adhered to the PRISMA guidelines for reporting a systematic review. A thorough examination of relevant literature was conducted on November 06, 2023, using three prominent databases: PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science. Inclusion criteria considered overweight (e.g., BMI 25.0–29.9 kg/m 2 ) and obese (e.g., BMI > 30 kg/m 2 ) populations exposed to training interventions using recreational team sports, while the comparator group consisted of the same populations not exposed to exercise (passive controls) or exposed to alternative training methods. The primary outcomes of interest were metabolic health parameters (glucose, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides), body composition (e.g., fat mass, lean mass), as well as physical fitness parameters (e.g., aerobic fitness, muscular fitness). Only studies with two- or multi-arm designs, whether randomized or not, were eligible for inclusion. The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological bias of the included studies. Out of the initial 275 titles retrieved, we deemed ten eligible for our study. In terms of body composition, TSG demonstrated a significant decrease in body mass index across three studies (−2.3 to −5.1%) and a significant reduction in waist circumference in four studies (−4.6% to −8.4%). Regarding blood pressure, TSG exhibited a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure in two studies (−3.9% to -8.3%), while diastolic blood pressure showed a significant decrease in only one study (−7.3%). Cholesterol levels saw a significant decrease in TSG in three studies (−7.0% to −9.7%), and triglyceride levels showed a significant reduction in four studies (−16.4% to −20.1%). In terms of aerobic fitness, TSG demonstrated within-group improvements in the field-based tests in three studies (8.1% to 79.0%), and within-group improvements in maximal oxygen uptake in four studies (6.5% to 31.0%), with significant favoring of TSG in most studies. Overall, TSG demonstrated significant benefits for overweight and obese populations compared to the control group, particularly in terms of improvements in body mass index, systolic blood pressures, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and aerobic fitness. Future research ought to concentrate on tailoring responses to varying training volumes on an individualized basis.

“…The improvements reported by studies in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness may be as a consequence of exposure to RS, with the most effective interventions occurring two to five times per week, with intensities above ~75% HRmax, for eight weeks to ten months. Indeed, improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness for young schoolchildren have been shown to be closely related to time spent in the highest aerobic intensity zone [ 59 ].…”

Recreational Soccer Training Effects on Pediatric Populations Physical Fitness and Health: A Systematic Review

This systematic review analyzed the effects of recreational soccer programs on physical fitness and health-related outcomes in youth populations. Studies were sought in the following databases: (i) PubMed, (ii) Scopus, (iii) SPORTDiscus, and (iv) Web of Science. The eligibility criteria included (1) population: youth (<18 years old) populations with no restrictions on sex or health condition; (2) intervention: exposure to a recreational soccer training program of at least four weeks duration; (3) comparator: a passive or active control group not exposed to a recreational soccer training program; (4) outcomes: physical fitness (e.g., aerobic, strength, speed, and change-of-direction) or health-related measures (e.g., body composition, blood pressure, heart rate variability, and biomarkers); (5) study design: a randomized parallel group design. The search was conducted on 6 September 2022 with no restrictions as to date or language. The risk of bias was assessed using the PEDro scale for randomized controlled studies. From a pool of 37,235 potentially relevant articles, 17 were eligible for inclusion in this review. Most of the experimental studies revealed the beneficial effects of recreational soccer for improving aerobic fitness and its benefits in terms of blood pressure and heart-rate markers. However, body composition was not significantly improved by recreational soccer. The main results revealed that recreational soccer training programs that are implemented twice a week could improve the generality of physical fitness parameters and beneficially impact cardiovascular health and biomarkers. Thus, recreational soccer meets the conditions for being included in the physical education curriculum as a good strategy for the benefit of the general health of children and young people.
