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...
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to analyze the relationships between fitness status (repeated-sprint ability (RSA), aerobic performance, vertical height jump, hip adductor abductor strength) match running performance in adult women soccer players (ii) explain variations standardized total distance, HSR, sprinting distances based on players’ status. Materials Methods: followed a cohort design. Twenty-two Portuguese competing at first-league level were...
En respuesta a la aparición del COVID 19 y pandemia ocasionada, los países tomaron medidas para manejar las curvas de infección. Han obligado permanecer en confinamiento esta estrategia afectó diversos contextos, dentro cuales, se encuentra el ámbito deportivo, suspendiendo competiciones, partidos oficiales, entrenamientos cancha, transmisiones deportivas, etc. Sin embargo, caso profesionales fútbol, mantuvieron preparación física través plataformas tecnológicas. El objetivo este trabajo es...
This study aimed to explore the main determinants of repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in women soccer players considering aerobic capacity, sprinting performance, change-of-direction, vertical height jump, and hip adductor/abductor isometric strength. Twenty-two from same team participating first Portuguese league were observed. Fitness assessments performed three times during a 22-week cohort period. The following made: (i) abductor adductor strength, (ii) squat countermovement jump (height),...
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between sprint performance (time), and strength power capabilities in football players. A total 33 professional Portuguese players performed isokinetic assessments, countermovement jumps (CMJ), squat (SJ), 10, 20 30 m sprints. Pearson's correlation (r) used determine relationships variables. Concentric knee extensor torque at 180° · s-1 largely-to-very largely correlated with 10 (r = -0.726), (-0.657) sprints -0.823). Moderate inverse...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the strength knee flexors and extensors hip abductor adductor muscles in young soccer players. Twenty-three male under-19 players participated (age: 17.7 ± 0.2 years; height: 173.0 1.1 cm; body mass: 66.1 1.3 kg). Body composition measured using a bioelectrical impedance (InBody770), dynamometry performed by an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex System 3) for flexion extension, isometric (Smart Groin Trainer), adduction abduction. Comparisons were made...
Agility is a fitness-skill-related component that should be part of the standard physiological testing for soccer players and one key performance indicators in soccer. The present study aimed to assess reliability CRAST as research tool skills. Twenty-one university (chronological age: 19.3 ± 1.4 years; body mass: 69.6 8.2 kg; stature: 173.5 6.5 cm; federated training experience: 9.7 3.6 years) volunteered protocol. requires complete random courses six times quickly possible. In addition,...
Physical trainers (PTs) are integral for managing load, reducing injury and optimizing performance in professional soccer. However, little is known about how this practitioners operate the applied setting some of nuances experienced influence practice.This study explored contemporary practices PTs Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with eight from different teams European South American leagues. Interview questions designed to extract information on evaluation physical abilities,...
This study aimed to analyze the variations of fitness status, as well test relationships between accumulated training load and changes in women soccer players. followed an observational analytic cohort design. Observations were conducted over 23 consecutive weeks (from preseason midseason). Twenty-two players from same first Portuguese league team (22.7 ± 5.21 years old) took part study. The assessment included anthropometry, hip adductor abductor strength, vertical jump, change direction,...
Background: The incidence of lower-extremity injuries in soccer is high, with effective injury prevention programmes shown to reduce rates. Over the past decades, an exponential growth has occurred number scientific publications including review articles on male soccer. Accordingly, it timely summarise findings from potential systematic reviews and meta-analyses form umbrella review. Objective: This was conducted review, synthesise appraise published that investigated effects programs...
Objetivo: describir el perfil antropométrico y condicional de jóvenes futbolistas chilenos desde la categoría Sub-13 a Sub-19, proponiendo una batería pruebas objetivas, que permita proporcionar serie indicadores validos medición. Metodología: se aplicaron campo agilidad 20 m zigzag, aceleración 10 m, velocidad 30 Running based anaerobic sprint test (RAST), Yo-Yo IR1 salto contramovimiento (CMJ), sumado las medidas antropométricas altura masa corporal. Resultados: Los resultados demostraron...
En los últimos años estudiantes universitarios han mostrado una disminución de niveles actividad física. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron comparar y asociar parámetros composición corporal rendimiento físico en educación física primer año. Participaron 72 ambos sexos (19 mujeres 18.37 ± 0.51 63 hombres 19.16 2.92 años). Se analizaron físico. resultados mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre la masa (p = .018), talla < .001), Σ6pliegues .002), % adiposa AF/SEM...
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar relación que existe entre el salto contramovimiento y pruebas velocidad (10-30 m) agilidad. La muestra estuvo constituida por 169 futbolistas jóvenes las categorías sub-13 sub-19, a los cuales se les aplicó prueba contramovimiento, agilidad zigzag. Los resultados muestran altura del presenta una alta correlación negativa con 10 m (r=-.693), 30 (r=-.731) (r=-.490). De igual modo, potencia correlacionan negativamente (r=-.658), (r=-.719)...
<ns4:p><ns4:bold>Background: </ns4:bold>Social affiliation is one of the building blocks that shapes cultures and communities. This motivation contributes to development social bonding among individuals within a group, enjoying rights, assuming obligations, strengthening its identity. Evidence has shown inspired different phenomena, such as wars, political movements, struggles, others, based on two human motivations: ingroup love outgroup hate. One contemporary group study proxy affiliation,...
