The characteristics of soccer games tend to be at medium and high intensity. Measurement of heart rate response and activity profile can be used to assess the physical condition performance of players in planning the right program. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences between heart rate response and activity profile in junior and recreational soccer players. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. 24 male soccer players (12 junior Aged 11.58 ± 0.28 Years, 142.25 ± 8.74 cm, 34.5 ± 6.42 kg) and (12 recreational Aged 32.7 ± 1.38 Years, 170.67 ± 3.92 cm, 73.42 ± 5.33 kg) underwent simulation game sessions of 15 minutes each recorded using Polar Verity Sense and Catapult One to capture internal and external load data. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test to determine the difference between the heart rate of junior and recreational players. The results showed that there was a significant difference between HRavg in junior players (166.1 ± 17.2) and recreation (155.3 ± 10.5) as well as HRmax in junior players (193.1 ± 12.3) and recreation (176.0 ± 10.0) (p < 0.05). In addition, in the variable top speed (6.20 ± 0.68) and also maximal acceleration (4.52 ± 0.39) there is a significant difference (p < 0.05). This study concludes that there is a significant difference in heart rate response, but in the activity profile only the top speed and maximal acceleration variables between soccer players. © 2024 Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica.
