Objective:
It was hypothesized that activity exercise at professional levels could lead to an increase in metabolic levels and a decrease in performance parameters. These trends are explained by physical activity as a cellular stressor.
Subjects And Methods:
We used an algorithm, Laboratory Index which evaluates salivary cortisol, CK and d-ROMs, collected previously from elite Italian soccer players, compared to InStat Index. The last one estimates analytically the athlete's performance in soccer pitch, applying the Heath Maps.
Results:
A good agreement between the two Index was obtained, especially for two players, who showed an ideal combined trend.
Conclusions:
We would investigate the clinical and activity profile of soccer players with the aim of providing information for the development of training strategies. Also, the performances, during training and match time, are an objective evaluation of the athlete's physical preparation. As a consequence, the combination of two Index could be used for a new approach to the sports world.

Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
01:17Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient
The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a...
