Brink, MS, Nederhof, E, Visscher, C, Schmikli, SL, and Lemmink, KAPM. Monitoring load, recovery, performance in young elite soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 24(3): 597-603, 2010-The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between training monthly field test players develop guidelines enhance performance. In a prospective, nonexperimental cohort design, 18 registered match duration for full competitive season by means daily logs. Furthermore, session rating perceived exertion (RPE) total quality recovery (TQR) scores were recorded. Weekly (TLd), load (duration × RPE = TLrpe), TQR calculated 1 2 weeks before submaximal interval shuttle run tests determine endurance capacity. Participants spent on average 394.4 ± 134.9 minutes per week game play with an 14.4 1.2 (somewhat hard) 14.7 1.3 (good recovery). Random intercept models showed that every extra hour or resulted enhanced (p < 0.05). Session did not contribute prediction The is most strongly related Therefore, coaches should focus improve capacity To evaluate group individual response, be frequently executed incorporated program.
