About this trial
This study aims at investigating the energy expenditure following a single Football trainning session in middle aged males. The participants will perform a soccer training session \[A single training session including 60 minutes of warm up, soccer technical exercises and small-sided game\] and a cotrol trial (No intervention included, only daily measurements) in randomized, repeated measures, crossover design.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in exercise-induced energy expenditure
Exercise energy expenditure (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system
Time frame
At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)2
Change in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)
EPOC (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system
Time frame
At post-exercise session (single bout lasting 60 minutes)3
Change in blood lactate concentration (BLa)
BLa (mmol/L) concentration will be measured in a microphotometer with commercially available kits.
Time frame
At pre- and post-exercise session (single bout) at 3 minutes post-exercise4
Change in heart rate
Heart rate (bpm) will be measured with a wearable heart rate monitor
