Physical activity is associated with health. The aim of this study was (a) to access if Portuguese university students meet the public health recommendations for physical and (b) effect gender day week on daily PA levels students. This observational cross-sectional involved 126 (73 women) healthy aged 18–23 years old. Participants wore ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer seven consecutive days. Number steps, time spent sedentary in light, moderate vigorous were recorded. two-way MANOVA revealed...
This study analyzed the network characteristics of successful and unsuccessful national teams that participated in FIFA World Cup 2014. The relationship between variables overall team performance measured on basis passes teammates was also investigated. A dataset 37,864 64 soccer matches enabled structure 32 teams. Our results showed significant differences dependent density (F4,123 = 2.72; p 0.03; η2p 0.04; small effect size) total links 2.73; reached later stages tournament. Goals scored...
This study aimed to compare the effects of 5-week running-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. small-sided game (SSG) on physical performance, psychophysiological responses and technical skills in young soccer players. Twenty male players (age: 14.2±0.5 years, height: 161.8±7.9 cm) participated this were assigned two groups: HIIT group (n=10) SSG (n=10). Both groups trained twice per week with a similar total duration. The consisted 5-9 minutes 2-a-side 2-minute passive rest...
This study aims to examine the effect of differences in number players and scoring method on heart rate responses, time–motion characteristics, technical/tactical performance during small-sided soccer games. Ten male amateur (26.4 ± 5.3 years old, 8.4 3.2 practice, 179.3 5.2 cm body height, 71.2 7.1 kg weight, 45.8 2.6 ml.kg–1min–1VO2max) from Portuguese regional league played nine different games (i.e., 3 formats × methods). The used two-way MANOVA, two-away ANOVA, one-way depending...
This study aimed to analyze the most prominent players' positions that contributed build of attack in football during FIFA World Cup 2014. The connections among teammates all matches tournament were analyzed, and tactical lineup players codified as independent variables. Four centrality network metrics used identify pertinence each position. A total 37,864 passes between recorded. Each national team was analyzed terms their matches, thus 64 from 2014 this study. 128 adjacency matrices...
SOCCER COACHES HAVE BEEN INCREASING THE USE OF SMALL-SIDED GAMES IN TRAINING. THESE SHOW A SIMILAR EFFICIENCY AS TRADITIONAL RUNNING METHODS (WITHOUT BALL) DEVELOPING PHYSICAL FITNESS PLAYERS. MOREOVER, ENABLE DEVELOPMENT BOTH TECHNICAL SKILLS AND TACTICAL ACTIONS. HOWEVER, THERE IS LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PROPER ORGANIZATION THAT NECESSARY FOR TO ACHIEVE DESIRED EFFECTS THIS REVIEW AIMS SUMMARIZE PHYSIOLOGICAL ON PLAYERS PROMOTED BY DEVELOP METHODOLOGICAL SCHEMATIZATION ORGANIZING GAMES.
The aim of this study was to propose a set network methods measure the specific properties team. These metrics were organised at macro-analysis levels. interactions between teammates collected and then processed following analysis levels herein announced. Overall, 577 offensive plays analysed from five matches. density showed an ambiguous relationship among team, mainly during 2nd half. mean values for all matches 0.48 in 1st half, 0.32 half 0.34 whole match. heterogeneity coefficient...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the day-to-day variance a typical weekly external training workload two professional soccer teams from different countries. Twenty-nine players Portugal and Netherlands participated in study. players’ load monitored for 7 weeks, by means portable GPS devices (10 Hz, JOHAN, Noordwijk, Netherlands). Results revealed that match day -1 (MD-1), i.e. before match, had significantly (p = 0.001) less volume (4584.50 m) than other days. MD-5 (training...
The aim of this study was two-fold: (i) to describe the training/match ratios different external load measures during a full professional soccer season while analyzing variations between types weeks (three, four and five training sessions/week) (ii) investigate relationship weekly accumulated loads match demands same week. Twenty-seven players (24.9 ± 3.5 years old) were monitored daily using 10-Hz global positioning system with 100-Hz accelerometer. Total distance (TD), running (RD),...
Electronic performance and tracking systems (EPTS) microelectromechanical (MEMS) allow the measurement of training load (TL) collective behavior in team sports so that match can be optimized. Despite frequent use radio-frequency (RF) technology (i.e., global positioning navigation (GNSS/global (GPS)) and, local position (LPS)) MEMS research, there is no protocol must followed, nor are any set guidelines for evaluating quality data collection process studies. Thus, this study aims to suggest...
The aim of this study was two-fold: (1) to analyze the variations acute load, training monotony, and strain among early (pre-season), mid (first half season), end season (second season) periods; (2) compare these indicators for playing positions in different moments season. Nineteen professional players (age: 26.5 ± 4.3 years; experience as professional: 7.5 years) from a European First League team participated study. were monitored daily over 45-week period total distance (TD), covered (DC)...
This study investigated the position-specific physical demands of professional Portuguese players. The effects situational variables on performance were also analysed (match location, match half and result). Match observations collected using Global Navigation Satellite System devices across 11 matches during a competitive season (2019–2020). Data according to five playing positions: goalkeepers (n = 11), central defenders 42), wide 31), midfielders 34), open attackers 28), centre forwards...
