The Claim
Endurance training is the most effective intervention for improving maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in soccer players, resulting in an increase of 1.94 mL/kg/min (95% CI: 0.79–3.09) compared to regular training, with a SUCRA ranking of 84.7% indicating the highest probability of superior effectiveness among all training modalities for aerobic capacity.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In soccer players, endurance training produces a larger increase in maximal oxygen uptake than other types of training, with an average improvement of 1.94 mL/kg/min compared to regular training.
See the scientific wording
Endurance training is the most effective intervention for improving maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in soccer players, increasing it by 1.94 mL/kg/min (95% CI: 0.79–3.09) compared to regular training, with a SUCRA ranking of 84.7%, indicating the highest probability of superior effectiveness among all training modalities for aerobic capacity.
Endurance training causes muscle cells to make more energy-producing structures called mitochondria and more tiny blood vessels around them. This lets the muscles use more oxygen to produce energy during prolonged activity, which increases the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during intense exercise.

1 studyStudy: Unknown Title
The study found that when soccer players did endurance training, their ability to use oxygen during exercise improved more than with any other type of training, making it the best way to boost stamina.
